Is a Clean Desk the sign of a "Sick" Mind??? <BR> <BR>If so, look at this picture of a man that want to examine every nock and cranny of that "rascally" George Bush. Where's the paper, in the back room???Where are the Policy Manuals, being analyzed by others, not our "Messiah"???? <BR> <BR>Hope has come, eh, yeah, right!!!!!

Having seen pictures of great writers and authors over the years, all with very messy desks and offices, "a clean desk equals a sterile mind." <BR> <BR>Now with a president, there are many aides who are paid to keep his desk clean so that he never has a picture taken except under those conditions. The rest of us poor "bookish" and messy people, simply learn to live with it and usually know exactly where things can be located in spite of the "mess." (That's my claim and I'm sticking to it.)

Wow. That desk is quite big and very spotless. It's a waste of office real estate.

Kinda hard to have a cluttered desk when its your first day on the job as the photo caption states was the case for the President. <BR> <BR>Other than that, sometimes old wive's tales are just myths. Course, some are fond of old myths and hold them to be truth.<blockquote><hr size=0><!-quote-!><font size=1><b>quote:</b></font><p><b><font size="+1">The Surprising Health & Psychological Benefits of a Clean, Uncluttered Desk</font></b> <BR> <BR>by <a href="http://www.SixWise.com" target=_top>www.SixWise.com</a> <BR> <BR>Despite their best intentions, many workers fall prey to desk clutter. And from behind their towering paper piles, old coffee mugs, outdated manuals and the swarms of unused office supplies, they usually shout out the old adage that "a clean desk is a sign of a sick mind" in self-defense. <BR> <BR>In truth, most of us sense that a cluttered desk actually leads to disorganization, a bad impression on coworkers, internal feelings of disarray and a cluttered mind. What's surprising, though, is that a messy desk can actually make you sick -- and there's a new syndrome to describe it....<!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote> <BR><a href="http://tinyurl.com/ct7yf2" target=_top>http://tinyurl.com/ct7yf2</a>

Don't worry Neal, I'm sure we all read the caption. <BR> <BR>Interesting quote, by the way. Every now and then I have to clean off my computer desk to give me peace of mind, and I'm currently going through my classroom and office, getting rid of stacks of papers and things that just seem to appear and never leave. I'm a firm believer that the more uncluttered your work space is, the better you feel and the more productive you become.

If it was me or I was an advisor to Obama, I would have had at least three transitional projects stacked on my desk showing Obama was engage in his work from the get go.
