The same holds true at work. Last week, I was slammed with some Big Hot Issues. When I came in on Monday, my desk was far messier than I prefer it to be.
Trying to take advantage of opportunities- rather than focus on the headaches of situations- I took the time that I was tied into a conference call and got my desk cleaned up.
Making progress:
Aaaaahhhh.... that just feels better.
And it never got done beyond that and pretty quickly came close to the first picture again. The funny thing was that I would go to put my hand on a document or something and know exactly where it had been but would struggle to recall where I had put it away.
Ah, well. I did manage to weed out some excess paper to my recycle bin and I did file away a few things and I did find some things I could easily take care of and pass on to someone else. It was still an accomplishment, even if the goal met wasn't the goal set.

I definitely feel more at peace seeing the second picture! I can struggle with clutter too but when I do get on top of it, life definitely feels better.
You have a cool-looking phone. :D
I know clutter bothers many but I don't find it related to feeling under control. Now being told to clean my clutter - that's a control thing.
I've seen much worst than the first picture and I do think that when the piles of stuff threatens a crushing avalanche is has gone too far. Too clean of a desk tells me the person is on vacation.
I do that all the time when I reorganize. I never remember where my great new location is. I can also declutter and be back in clutter by nightfall. :(

Seriously. In fact, at the moment, my desk looks much worse than yours. Much, much worse.
