Hey... There's a desk under there (parts 2 & 3)

Things are just getting crazy - first we find a desk under our paper stacks at home, now I find two desks in my office this afternoon. Here I thought lo these many years that I had simply been setting my monitor, mouse and keyboard on stacks of notes, design ideas, and unfinished projects from years of having to stop working on one thing to start and finish the next "super important new #1 priority" (that would then be replaced by the next project of the same status by the next grant or managerial whim). But, as it turns out, under all this stuff:


Were these desks:


If only I had known about these desks! Think of all the elbow room I could have been enjoying. Think of all the times I could have set things temporarily on my desk instead of setting them on the floor and having to tenuously step over them for a day or two. Think of all the paper, books, and wires I could have stacked all over each other... oh, wait - that's what got me into this mess in the beginning. But now, with these desks clear (and even more so when I clean off the other desk and file cabinet in my office), I plan on turning over a new leaf. I am determined to find new ways to be more efficient and organized to be more efficient at work. Any ideas, anyone? Got an item on your desk that you just can't live/work without? As you may have noticed, a knowledge of organizational tools is something I don't possess - so I'm open to any and all help out there. Cause I gotta say, it feels a whole lot less claustrophobic and a whole lot more comfortable in my office - and I'd kinda like to keep it that way.
