I did it, but it got very late. So you will get know only the photos with short comment. I hope to add more of the story tomorrow.

First, the shameful truth about my desk:

You might have seen worse, but actually the desk took over a part of the bookshelf, as I didn't have enough space on the top.

Here you can see the bookshelf. On the uppershelf is my "Finance Organizer" (read: I just throw everything in it, that has something to do with bank, money, insurance, tax...see next photo for proof). The lowershelf held a blue box, which holds mainly paperish things and once stand on my desk. I pilled up more paper on top of it.

You see? Although I had different files for different things, I just stuffed it in. I wasn't even able to name the tags.

Here you can see the desk again. At least the picture on the wall is looking nice.

So that's my empty desk.

And here are the things from desk and bookshelf lined up. The green/black box to the left is full with paperclutter!

After that I left for church and tackle the big thing after it.

The cleaing part. My desk is old (20 years), so it didn't get to shiny.

I deceided, that I don't have the time tonight to sort the paperclutter properly. So I just splitted it up in finance things (not shown in picture), throw away (the paper bin), privat post I have to look through again (blue box in front), other private things I have to look through (the rest in the orginal box).

Here ist my Finance organizer again. At least I splitted it up in different groups (bank, insurance etc.) and put every letter in the right file.

And this is my desk at last. Much better I would say.

And now I deserve some icecream! Bye the way - it come in neat little plastic boxes. I will keep it, it might come in handy during the challenge. I guess I must eat more icecream to get more boxes! And the story got long instead of my intention, more or less just to post the pics.

So and what are we doing tomorrow? Day 3 - Tupperware Cabinet
