Back to my office, I've essentially been making token efforts to clean it since THIS SUMMER when it was stocked full of all kinds of junk from my school's remodeling project. This brings me to the second thing I've learned from cleaning which is the fact that it is really fun to drag out boring projects. Take a look at anyone who is working on something that isn't fun, and you will probably see someone that isn't working at their maximum efficiency to get it done. Its easy to get distracted by other things or to just stop working on it altogether.
If you would like to see what I'm dealing with, have a look at some of these pictures. My office isn't that bad, is it? I'll post some pics after it is clean. If you think its messy, what do you expect out of an office you have to walk through the boys bathroom to get to? I am contractually obligated to my girlfriend to have this place cleaned up by December 6th at 6:00 PM. The time is necessary to know in order to put it off till the last minute.

Ah, my desk, where all the great ideas get written down and misplaced.

Here you see the storage/server portion of the office.

This is my primary work area where I will fix broken equipment. Notice the fatal error message in the background.

Storage area, reverse angle.
A clean well maintained home, office, or workplace creates a powerful first impression and a pleasant environment for everyone
