This does not factor in the time saved by not putting things away.

If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, what does a vacant desk mean?

Message to housekeeping:

I know where everything is on my desk, so don't **** with it!

[just me]

That looks a little like my husband's office...LOL

His is just a little neater,,, just a little..

This is what secretaries are for. Few are over worked and they have the time to organize the clutter. This leave you with an extra 15 min a day for important things.

15 minutes / day = 1.25 Hours Week

Author = Idiot.

[UpAllNight]

-- they waste up to 15 minutes a day--

Keeping a neat desk would take less than 15 mintes a day?

Internet porn costs more time...not to mention the repetitve stress arm injuries..

I think I see what the problem is: There's no coffee mug in that pic, is there? If I'm right, you're under-caffeinated.

Research conducted by giant business chain Office Depot indicates...

It seems that Office Depot is trying to scare people into buying their organizing stuff.

Some jobs, like mine, involve so much paperwork there is simply no way to keep up with it without spending at least 3 hours on Saturday organizing.

BBBWWWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Having been a secretary, I jes' hafta' laugh atcha! THAT is the job in which there is NO time to go to the restroom.

My desk always looked like a battle zone. But by the time my Secretary left in the afternoon it was neat and organized.

Am I the first to consider the time spent on FR?

[Risha]

Impressive, disturbingly impressive.

"Well ya know, Bob, I really only do about 15 minutes of work a week..."

"Having been a secretary, I jes' hafta' laugh atcha! THAT is the job in which there is NO time to go to the restroom."

My secretary was very well paid, treated with respect, and she got the max raise allowed by corp. every year.

PS.. She could take breaks or a 2 hour lunch any time she wanted.

Just two hours? Their desks are not really, truly messy, like mine.

(BTW, I can waste much more than two hours per week on Free Republic.)

Hi All-

My desk is a disaster area of late and I've got to get a handle on the problem. It's funny because my clothes, shoes, and jewelry are kept crisp and perfect. My car is detailed, my motorcycle is spotless, and my Italian racing bicycles are showroom fresh. My workspace looks like it hit an IED.
