How I spend my day

A lot of people keep on asking me what it actually IS that I do when going to work. So I thought the time was ripe to reveal this and as a picture shows much more than many of my words, here you can have a look...



This is the point where it all starts. When entering the office in the morning, my keyboard is usually hidden under a pile of papers, which I immediately remove to be able to enter my password to get into my work-mailbox. I put the papers in near sight, so at any empty spot on my desk within reach. I start going through an average of 90 new emails, from time to time I print out some and they also are put somewhere close to me. After a while faxes start coming in as well and by that time I usually turn to my right hand side...


And look! Another space where papers can be dropped! It does not take long before also that part of my working area is filled, so after this happened, I usually would try to take some documents together and start creating piles. Very urgent pile of things to look at, less urgent pile of things to have a look at in the afternoon and a hopefully small pile of documents that I will look to at some point as they don't make any sense to me at that moment because I am getting too stressed out to think rationally. ;)
So, to make things short, what I do all day is read papers, put them at other places, remove them from certain spots, read them again and look for another place to put them. :P And quite a bit more, but that would lead us way too far. :P
