My office is currently a mess. It’s not as bad today as it was yesterday but there are still boxes and books everywhere. We’ve been in the house for about two weeks and I still have a lot to do to get the house in general unpacked and set up. It’s not an easy process.

I have more space in this office than I did before so now I am finding that I have plenty of room to take my art supplies out of hiding and display all my writing and creativity books proudly. But I need to buy organizers before that can happen.

But during this time of organizing, I noticed that the further along I am getting the more productive my writing is. Before the boxes were unpacked a thirty minute task took me an hour. This leads me to believe that the clutter fogs up my brain and causes me to not be as productive as I could be.

I encourage all of you to evaluate the state of your writing area. Is it cluttered? How does it make you feel? Turn it into a space that you enjoy being in. This will make your time writing more productive and enjoyable.

As for me - I have my work cut out for me. I still need to put together my bookshelf and find a place to put all my office supplies. But, it’s getting better.
