But I do care to have a minimum of things on my desk - some sheets of paper for sketching and a few pencils. As I have a big desk this space allows me to be creative.

When I get back from SOBCon I am going to get a second monitor to attach to my laptop, then I will be <b>forced</b> to move the extraneous supplies, index cards, etc. Then I will be able to really crank out some widgets!

Nice. I'm really surprised that there've been so many similar experiences to my own. @Tom: Gorgeous Norfolk Island Pine? Nice.

Advertisers and companies often force feed us with information that simply isn't true. Less often is more. @Charlie: I love little stories like this.

It's nice to have symbols of the bigger picture around as we work. For me that definately includes family. @Jonathan: Yeah, plans, pictures, etc. are really important.

With it being a 5000 year old Chinese philosophy that's stood the test of time, I'm beginning to believe there's some truth to it. I work with a 22" monitor (in my office), and when I'm using split screens/browsers, it's phenomenal. Such a time saver. Now if I can just figure out a way to make all of this paperwork that's on my desk disappear,(and magically file itself) my chi could flow without any distractions. Hi Clay,

I work off my laptop from my kitchen table that's in need of a Feng Shui overhauling. Can't imagine what it would feel like working from the wonder of a 22-inch monitor. Whew! Your post is just the nudge I need to get to that spring cleaning and decluttering. There's a freeing of the spirit when you get rid of all the old stuff. Great post, Clay.
