I’ve always heard that there are stackers and then there are filers. Honestly, I’ve tried to be a filer, but there’s just one problem, I’ll file something and then I forget I even have whatever it is that I’ve filed (Out of sight out of mind) and I find myself either frantically looking for it (except where I filed it) and eventually recreating it and a new folder to file it in. So, I am a stacker. Amazingly, I can find anything I have stacked on my desk. I found these pictures on the internet and it made me feel smart. So, what does your messy, or clean desk say about you? Apparently, Einstein’s desk says the messier the smarter!

One statement made on the site where I found these said, “Some people say a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, what does that say about an empty desk?” Join the Conversation: What does your desk look like? Are you a stacker or a filer?

I’m totally a stacker. I try to clean my desk off about every two weeks (more like every two months), but just move the stack from one side of the desk to the other.
I am not a very good filer because I hate having paper around. I kind of combine stacking and filing, but if it goes in the file I won’t get it done because out of sight out of mind. I am not a multi tasker. I have to have a clear desk and focus on those things, then put that away and clean the desk before I can work on the next thing.
