After a few days of brooding or brewing, I finally decided to give my office a long over-due makeover this afternoon. Moved all the boxes and things that are just laying around to the storage area in the basement. It’s already looking a lot better. As David Allen said, getting some clean edge in your physical space helps with your psychic. It really does. Then by moving the furniture around a bit and getting rid of clutters, I am loving this space again. Haven’t really getting my file system back in shape yet. There are papers to be filed for almost a year I think. But now that I have the space setup, I can move ahead with that part of the makeover.
The reason I haven’t been using this office downstairs is first, it has never been finished since we moved in. I have boxes still laying around, an open loop that says work whenever I come down here. A mental burden I guess. And second, it’s cold down here. Maybe it’ll be better in the summer, then again maybe not, with the AC all coming down here and staying down here. Right now, I have the space heater going, and that helps a lot.
I won’t be able to use this office for a few weeks after the surgery but after that, I should be able to fully utilize it when Leo retires and stays home then. We should have separate spaces to move in and not be in each other’s way. It’s a good thing. And yeah, I’ll be going back to work and that should help too.
Now on to the paper mess…
