My desk is generally cluttered with books and paper when I am working but I always tidy up at the end of each day as otherwise I would not have a clue what I was doing from one day to the next as I am doing a law degree and therefore I have to use a lot of books at a single time as well as printing off many pages and writing down information.

Mine is clean for now. LOL I clean it off weekly to make sure the paper wwork for my ebay biz gets done. [k5scottangel]


At the moment my desk is still half decent. I have a home office and it gets used a LOT for both household and work things. I scooped all my paperwork into a box when my parents came by to see my family recently, so it's still looking pretty good... hehe until I have to find a paper or bill and put all those papers back I guess! :-) [katiedoubleu]

Mine's a bit of a mess with papers, discs and post it notes all over the place. I like to think of it as organised chaos lol [seewhy]


My computer desk is always messy, even after I clean it, it still seems to be cluttered. I guess that is a good thing though because if it were any cleaner I would not be able to find anything at all. Clutter just seems to be the way of life for my office area. [cwgrlsarefun]

mines is clean I need room to rest my arm [coco526]

I do not have a desk to mess up,but I am sure it would be a mess if /when I do. Right now the screen and the tower are both on my entertainment stand and my keyboard is on my lap.This system seems to be working for me so I do not see me in the near future changing it. By the way.......welcome to MyLot. [lonewolfnan]

my computer desk is a bit messy during the day. i clean the mess up and arrange things before going to bed. then, i clean it from dust in the morning before i log in to my computer. and during the day, things just got messed up. i think it's just natural. i'm used to it anyway. [maryannemax]

My desk is usually messy. The desk is used alot throughout the day so stuff collects there. I clean it off and out every now and then, but it always ends up the same way. It is hard to keep things in order with small children in the house, but maybe that's just me making excuses for myself. Someone around here always wants mom so when I start straightening I get called away. [prettypinkbug]

Hi there.Mine is a little aranged but i do not have any anti-virus... I use it without any protection... and be sure that i have at least one virus ;) ... that`s why i`m sure it goes slow. [donmikey]

Are you kidding? My desk is so messy myLot wouldn't even load a photo of it! Let's have a challenge and see if you can top this! http://FreeTrap,com/banner/pan.jpg This is a pan and I still couldn't get it all in from a small room. [oldbuddy]

It is messy with loads of paperwork and CDs. [girish3110]

I prefer my dogs to be clean and neat otherwise I won't find my things and other paper work. I have to be organised because of my work. [ronaldinu]
Lapsus - desk not dogs [ronaldinu]


i have a same problem as with u and when i tried saying it to someone in my house not to keep their things at my desk they get annoyed. [gopalagarwal]

The dreaded computer desk/catchall question. In my house the computer desk is not unlike the unused dining room table in many houses. It catches everything mail, anything that doesn't have a place, my notes, things I'm working on, cd's, dvd's, medications, and just general clutter. I straighten it up often but it just gets worse in a matter of hours. It is too convenient. [baldingeagle69]

I have the pile system, piles of papers here and piles of papers there. I do know what is in the piles though. I do try to keep the piles neat, haha. [Polly1]

mine is clean but little messy.from time to time i remove what i put on it :P [raghed80]

Not at all when I am working but certainly neat and clean when I reach my office the next day. [cashcrop]

My desk is very messy and always is. I have so many papers and everything on it. It's so messy I don't even use it. I take my laptop and sit on my bed and use it. [sweets9900]

I don't know about your desk but i think mine is the dirtiest in the world it has every object on it from A-Z. I live whit my 2 brothers no girls in the house so its getting messyer and messyer every day. In a weird way its good because when i loose something i know its on my desk :)). [masca11]

My computer desk is very clean right now but my study table is not. It is filled with papers, books and pens, brochure for my selling career. I always keep my computer desk clean but with regards to cleaning other parts of the room I sometimes forget. [faylinn_chaeli]

I wish I could post a picture of my computer table and you will soon realise whose is more messier....hehehe [nihalnihal]

My Desk is kind of a mess mostly lots of papers and Computer Hardware. [philipjones]

well i just cleaned mine a little bit ago so its clean for now :) i have the tendency to keep it getting messy every once in a while. i dont know why i can never keep it clean [lilhoose]

I really hate clutter so my desk is always clean. =) It gets dirty every now and then (with food especially) but I make sure I clean it up at instantly. =) [blindedfox]

THe desk at my office is very clean n tidy, but at home its a bit messy. [deepuj]

I wouldn't say my computer desk is neat. yeah it's a little messy as i keep some of my files i need there and occasionally a book like right now, which i will have to put back in cupboard. And yes i think i have to tidy it a more often, but sometimes i get lazy as i want things i need on desk. Though i hope to clean my desk more often from now on. [banta78]

i do mess up my table sometimes but when i am free i do take time to clean the mess, i can't do thing when my table is messy especially when i start to do something, when i am already sitting on my computer and gets messy somehow then i do not cars so much. [blueman]

have my mouse pad,pen and,note pad,diary,rough papers,bottle of water, and my sons picture.not to forget my mobile!!thats all. [anjalisk2005]

Usually when I am doing some projects in the computer, there are lots of textbooks and papers around my computer desk. But during times that no one is using the computer or I am just having a surf on the net my computer desk is usually clean. [klystron635]

my computer desk is also my study table. soon i m going to sit in the exams so now there's almost all of my text books around my computer. i won't say that generally that's not the way with my desk and it's always neat and clean because there's always this or that excuse for not cleaning it!;) [kaplya]

One can never get used to a messy situation and i try to keep the place clear at all times, [jal1948]

neath and clean. that my desk and that the way i love it. [niceandshort]

My computer desk is a mess.......But I know where everything is....It's just my way of keeping things where I like them and no one else uses the computer so why not..I never liked a clean desk anyway......I could find everything I wanted....... [nzinky]
