People often tell me that if they only had more space they could be organized. Organizing is about systems, not about space.
Yesterday I worked in an office that was about the size of a closet. When I
walked in, at 9:00, the desk was covered with papers. By 12:00, we had created a paper-flow system and the desktop was clear, except for an
"action file".
In the process, I helped him think through what was important to keep,
where it should be kept, and rentention guidelines.
When I asked him how it felt to have a clear desk he said " It is a great relief.".

Note: Photos also include my helping him with mind mapping how he spends his time.
