Clean Desk
This song captures the everyday monumental task of tidying up to get work done, and the gnawing paranoia that follows: “I’ll never find this genius post-it note again if I clean up. Maybe I’ll wait until tomorrow.”
Clean too late and you lose focus. Clean too early and you lose your mojo. Einstein said a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind — but then again, what does an empty desk signify? Whatever you do, stay inspired.
