Mess, that is really what gets me. When my space is cluttered and a mess I become paralyzed. I lose the ability to think or function. So now you understand why paper and the paper monster are my nemesis. Whether it is at home or work, I cannot tolerate paper on my desk. When I have paper sprawled on my desk, my productivity decreases. 

I do have a lot of decorative items and functional storage pieces on my desk, but I need the surface clear to work.  Not only do I want my space clean, but I want it to be beautiful, so I decorate my work space in a way to make me happy and creative.
