But at least it makes me feel organized! I always follow up this “A place for everything and everything in it’s place”….

I've always had a bit of a disconnect between my productivity systems and the state of my desk. It's probably the key issue that derails my GTD efforts. Thanks for the link.

Since GTD, the only paper on the top of my desk belongs to the action I'm working on, or my Moleskine. All notes go into my Moleskine. Each day I draw a line across the page and put the day and date down. I use symbols when taking notes and I always record when I do my weekly review. The only loose papers I have are put in a drawer which is my in-box and then process during my weekly. Bottom line: I no longer waste time searching for one piece of paper. It is such a rush to have someone walk into my office, ask me for something, and I turn, open a file drawer and pull the information out of the appropriate file.
