Desk, bottom drawer, fulfilling the task it was born for...

Last night, my task was to file the papers I'd sorted from the clutter on my desk and shelves.

Painstaking, but absurdly simple.

Papers are now filed in the file-drawer in my desk, in files labeled ART,  BANKING, BILLS, COMPUTER, HISTORY, MANUALS, MEDICAL, PAY, POETRY, RECIPES, RENT and REVENUE CANADA.

Fits nicely, too.

Another day, another drawer...

Last night while watching Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. with friends, I decluttered two desk drawers.  My thought was that if I could empty both drawers to the extent that I could amalgamate them into one, I could put my netbook - the Acer Aspire - into that drawer. It currently sits on the bookcase by the television with an HDMI cord plugged in, so I can watch YouTube (or whatever) on my TV.

So it's very handy there. More handy than it will be in a drawer.  But I plan to move that bookcase.  So: another problem to work through.

I did not work on the drawers while watching the new episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - of course not!  It was the one from two weeks ago, which we watched again, "The Girl in the Flowered Dress". 

Amazing how many pens and pencils one person can have in two drawers. I put half of them in the discard bag, and I still have more than I can use in a lifetime. At some point, I'll test them to see if they all work.  That will be another stage of culling.

Everything now fits very nicely in my top drawer, including the rubber stamps and stamp pads.

The more I do, the easier it gets.

Next step: file the papers that have been sorted and cleared off the top of the desk.
