Now, many moons ago I heard of an interesting little fun thing to do when you have a few minutes spare,
Once watching a TV show, two presenters (a husband and wife) were asked to empty the contents of their pockets and, in the case of the wife, their purse.
LIVE ON TELEVISION!!
This 'experiment' really shows what kind of things we carry with us and what our surroundings are made up of - usually of things we take for granted or do not notice!
It is a bit like that credit card company, Whats in your wallet? I ask..what is on your office desk?
For instance...
On my desk I have the following:
- One mug of lukewarm tea.
- One desktop computer screen with post it notes attached.
- One set of desktop speakers
- One telephone
- two mousemats - one on top of the other, both freebies from recent conferences.
- A pad of pink post it notes,
- A Sharpie (Red, Fine Point)
- Thank you card - from a really nice client!
- British and American desktop flags
- A plastic mini-piggy bank with 5 x 1cent coins (one third holding capacity, - pig is unopenable!)
- A stack of paperwork that is current
- 2 folders
- One in-tray/Out tray set
- This keyboard which I am typing on
- One bottle of water (half-drunk)
- One retractable ball point pen
- One desk calendar
Think that covers it...when you analyze it, there doesnt look like alot but it sure it!
Try it yourself! I guarantee you may find some surprises!!
