I have an orange, an owl, and a plain old digital timer. Very helpful when grading papers, twenty minutes or so and then a break.<br /><br />@Marzek, are you thinking of <a href="http://www.cs.bilkent.edu.tr/~david/plea.html" rel="nofollow">“A Plea for the Horizontally Organized”</a>? I can’t claim to know exactly where things are, but I usually have a pretty good idea. My weakness is that I end up using other horizontal surfaces (like the floor) as extensions of the desk.Michael Leddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05547732736861224886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-6514888016381248632015-07-28T12:29:43.945-05:002015-07-28T12:29:43.945-05:00I can still recall an article from when computers ...I can still recall an article from when computers were becoming a regular part of the workplace, regarding the virtues of the messy desk. Rather than a directory of identical-looking file names, the messy desk presents a rich and varied amount of visual material. A tiny edge of a pink memo, the corner of a blue envelope, a patch of red ink -- all offer immediate recognition. The papers you handle the most often remain near the center or on top; those less necessary drift to the sides and back.<br />Also, I'd add, there is the deep satisfaction of CLEANING and sorting the desk when it becomes unmanageable.
