I took a quick trip to the beach last weekend. The weather was beautiful, especially considering it's mid-November and months of cold weather are right around the corner. It was great to get away for a few days and leave some of the everyday stress behind. There's something about watching the waves that's so relaxing...
Anyway, before I left on my trip, I spent a bit of time organizing my desk and some of the papers that had found a resting spot on it and had been there for several days. No, my desk isn't perfectly clear at all times! That's unrealistic for anyone who actually gets work done during the course of the week. I wanted to come back to a well organized desktop on Monday morning. I mean, who wants to face a semi-cluttered desk after a nice, relaxing weekend? Kind of defeats the purpose of getting away in the first place!
But it did occur to me that if every Friday I acted like I was going on vacation, I would be motivated to make sure that all papers, folders, and files were put away so that on Monday I would start fresh. You try it too! Fridays you'll leave with the peace of mind that you've organized your workspace, and Mondays you won't dread whatever is lurking in piles on your desk--there won't be any!
