There’s nothing better than to getting started with a project, task, writing a well thought out email, or write a blog post than a nice clean desk. My desk usually is fairly clean to start off with, because I tend to keep everything in digital form in OmniFocus (my GTD lifeline). But from time to time, it gets a little cluttered with various items, such as papers, order forms, napkins, post-its people give me, pieces of scrap paper from phone calls, etc. Well I don’t know about yourself, but I know that productivity starts with my environment, and if that’s not in order, then I will be hard-pressed to get anything done.
As you can see in the picture, my desk is pretty clean with some exceptions. You can see my flightdesk off to the left inside the desk. But for the most part my desk here is clean and I’ve been getting tons of work done lately sitting in that chair. Today, after lunch I cleaned up my desk at work and the afternoon was a productive one. So my advice to you, and you can take if you want to (this is my blog, so I’m going to say it anyway 
) is if you are having a tough time getting started with a project or task, take a look around you and see if you can straighten up the place a little, you’d be surprised how well less clutter will work.
