My bedroom has always had multiple personalities -- my sanctuary, my chill spot, my peace and quiet, my safe haven, and also my professional + work space. I have a huge desk in here {my family, or at least my Dad are serious desk people, vs. my college roomies who always did their work in their bed} and I have grown up worshipping the importance of a desk {and a clean one at that!}
When your room or personal office space gets messy or out of order, it can screw up all kinds of things for you. Your creative juices don't flow as easily, or inspiration, you're frustrated at the mess and can't stand the sight of it, the lack of desire to even spend time in this small little space, any sense of your own 'space' is lost, you name it. My biggest problem is picking out an outfit and leaving the rejects all over my room for days {sometimes even weeks this time around} refusing to put them all back on hangers and neatly in my closet again.
I have been living in this room since I was eleven, plus my adolescent artsy phase, plus my post-college moving back in with the 'rents phase, and it has officially gotten out of hand. I said whenever I took personal time and didn't have a job, I'd take care of this mess once and for all. Yesterday was just the beginning. The cleanse has begun!
so true about the desk. i'm the same way.
