clean your desk day

Mr. Chase who published the annual events a book of special events, had a messy desk.


His daughter who had no place to work would spread a cloth work and then wind up.

It was she and not a card designer or a florist who came up with the national clean your desk day on the second Monday of January. Though the About calendar for fundays lists on Jan.12th.

This is now backed, by the National Association of professional organizers in America.

The steps are simple

Take a toll of your desk, all that does not belong there should be thrown out. The best way to do this is to have your shredder and the refuse bag.

If you are novice then maybe you should opt for a community shredder or host the campfire.

Do it in small instalments so it is not overwhelming.

So file it or junk it.
