A messy desk kills me. I haven't seen the surface of my desk in a year. I've begun the great organization. Having discovered my floor yesterday has motivated me to do more.
Dry erase addiction. I love to work with a dry erase board. I'm very visual so it helps in my teachings and presentations to draw and a dry erase board is just such a beautiful medium for planning.
Do not automatic until the manual process works! A dry erase board also helps you work out processes that can later be automated. My database designs, business rules, etc all begin on dry erase.
Yesterday I re-hung a dry erase board that had be tucked away in the garage. I instantly felt like a saved person!
