In view of our desk discussion I thought a bit of action was in order, so I've been clearing, cleaning, re-organising, and I've reduced what is actually on the desk significantly: from 22 books down to only 2 (one is current reading, the other is finished but soon to be the subject of a post), notebooks cut from 6 to 1, no knitting.
To do this I had to re-arrange the shelves behind the desk, so I had a purge there, too, which left room for the piles of recent acquisitions which were on the floor. There's more work to be done but I've made a good start and although I still have my bits and pieces around me, there's much more clear space, and gone is the feeling of pressure there was before!
