If I let too many icons, shortcuts, exe files, projects and whatnot build up there, then I'm asking for trouble. So I spend time about once every two weeks clearing it all up. Much easier to find stuff when there is less of it to find. I too work better at a clean desk – especially the desktop of my computer.

I agree with Matthew ... it's hard to do it at first, but after awhile, putting things immediately where they belong instead of on the desktop becomes an ingrained habit. And a very useful one. I've only forced myself to learn it within the last six months or so, but now my desk is just about always Zen heaven.

I think there's a fundamental habit change that hasn't happened yet - your urge to pile things in that corner, rather than the appropriate places. If it's still "stuff" (i.e., you haven't decided what you need to do about it), then it goes into the inbox. Otherwise, it goes into one of the Organize buckets - general reference filing, action support, etc. That's assuming the thing in question isn't one of: supplies, equipment, reference, or decoration... Cheers! Interesting post. I think there’s a fundamental habit change that hasn’t happened yet – your urge to pile things in that corner, rather than the appropriate places.
