My desk is a royal mess, I have paperwork, magazine and newspapers piled everywhere except on my laptop, phone and lamp (my picture frames are like bookends though). My system of management is simple, those piles closest to my right hand require immediate attention those farther out represent coming work and those at the farthest reaches are long term plans. On my left is the creative pile. Here lay a stack of ideas representing all my clients in no particular order. This stack is the least organized but the richest in content; it's next to the phone. Farther out is just junk I never get around to tossing because I feel like there is good idea in there somewhere.
