You’ve Seen My Desk, Now See My Desktop
In my recent post — Clear Your Mind, Clear Your Desk
– I posted a photo of my physical desk in all it’s ridiculously tidy glory. Today, purely coincidentally, one of my editors asked me to send a screenshot of my computer desktop. The virtual one, not the physical one. She’s preparing a talk for MacWorld Expo, and she needs an assortment of people’s desktop screenshots. So, I took a screenshot and emailed it to her. When I was looking at the screenshot, I realized my virtual desktop is as absurdly neat as my physical desktop, and for the same reasons. Have a look:

For those of you who are wondering, this uber-neatness doesn’t extend to all aspects of my life. My clothes, for instance, tend to end up in sloppy little mountains here and there in my home. But that’s okay. We all have habits we want to improve. I’ll refactor over time, and all will be well. My point is: I don’t make neatness an obsession, but in places like my workspaces, when I need to be tidy, I can be super tidy. Now… where did I put my socks?
