Wanted: One Desk Fairy


Yesterday, I wrote about my current problems maintaining my attention for any amount of time.  Today, as I was working at my desk, I looked around and realized that part of the reason I might be having trouble being productive is my work environment.

I know that my veneer of organization begins to seriously deteriorate in the weeks leading up to spring break.  My schedule is super busy, not only with coaching meetings, but also with data review meetings and other meetings to coordinate intervention groups.  I am also facilitating PD workshops almost every Wednesday afternoon.

At the beginning of the school year, I am very good about cleaning my desk off before I leave school every day.  Then it becomes every other day.  Then weekly.  Then.....

This.

I really don't like my desk to be like this, but realistically I'm not going to have time to clean it off tomorrow either.  Maybe Monday.  I hope.

  1. Oh Mindi, I know your pain. As soon as my desk is cleared, it's filled with all the papers I just need to know about but have no time to file for later. I wish people would use our Google Apps instead of handing out paper.

    I just don't worry about it; I just take my laptop [like yours :) ] to a student desk to work!

  4. I need a desk fairy too. Your desk actually looks clean compared to mine. I can't even see the surface. Good luck organizing it.

  7. I would happily start with a Desk Fairy. Right now it feels like I could use a whole army of Desk Fairies.
