Well, well, well. It's the end of the year. My desk, up until yesterday, was a complete and total disaster--according to my broker. That's what he thought and that's actually what it looked like. I was gently asked to please clean up the mess. BUT I knew where everything was and could locate anything requested in a timely manner--usually under a minute. Now, though, it's the end of the year and I've decided to put it to rights and organize. So I just cleaned everything out, threw things away that I was just keeping for no apparent reason, dumped a BUNCH of stuff in my car, and am a good ways into organizing...
But, the real story is: I have been told that a disoganized desk is one of the signs of a disorganized mind. I agree and disagree with that statement. Could it also mean that the agent that has a messy desk is actually a producer and, being busy, just makes stacks of active, pending, dead, and closed files? Then, goes home at the end of the day tired and doesn't have the time or energy to keep the desk neat? I was at another office within my company today and talked to a "producer" whose volume is around $10 mil. She has not one but TWO desks that one could say are messy. But I spoke with her today and she, too, knows what each stack contains and is on track to clean up the desks this month.
You know when you can't think of anything cool to say just in the moment but you think and think and come up with the EXACTLY right thing to say--but it's a few days later?! Well, once I get my desk put back together and organized, I'll be happy. Then, I'll get busy again and the desk may get messy again. When I am gently reminded that "a disorganized desk is a sign of a disorganized mind," then I'll be able to say---"Well, then what does an empty desk mean?!" LOL. Hope that's a good thought for the day for you.

Not so, most of the top agents have messy desks. They usually have their "files" in order and know where things are.
I'm not neat. Typcially if I clean my desk people worry that I'm quitting!
