I find when I start worrying about what my desk looks like that I’m just procrastinating. I have noticed no correlation between my desk being messy or stylish with actual focus and productivity.
My desk used to be covered in notes and whatnot but honestly it was a pain to find the 1% of useful info buried in the detritus. I cleared it and now keep my desk 100% empty and use a notebook instead... not sure if it's better but I can defo keep it free from dust more easily.
