Do You Smell That? That's Organization! Part 1

If we are to believe the old mantra "Cleanliness is next to Godliness", then the first step towards organization is getting rid of the clutter. This, despite what you're all thinking, is quite a hard thing to do right now. With no couch and no.. well.. dining room, the apartment doesn't really feel "complete". But I'm trying my best to handle things that I am able to, and I'm having a fair bit of luck in getting this place at least feeling a little more like a home.

So, in the spirit of getting rid of clutter, I would like to introduce Step One!

Step one involves a new desk purchase. Now, some of you may have been informed that, while a desk had been planned on, it would not be arriving for a few months. I already had a desk, you're probably telling yourself. And it is true, I did already have a desk. It wasn't a good desk though, and I really felt like it was "junking the room up". Plus, I had a friend in town that owned a truck. I could not have fit the new desk in my car, so I made the executive decision to "jump the gun".

I now present: the new desk.

Old Desk	New Desk!

As you can see, getting a new desk has mentally forced me to keep it clean. I can't get a new desk and keep it cluttered with old junk. So away with the junk! You can also see I acquired a new lamp. It doesn't produce nearly the amount of heat the old lamp did, so I'll actually use it. Plus, this one's all artsy, which is sure to impress any visitors I have in the future.
