31 Days to a Better Desk/Office Space- Day 1

I am joining the 31 days series hosted in part by the Nester.  Check out what the original 8 are offering  in their series and others who are doing 31 days of Change. ****SEE Updates on bottom of post****

My goal is to post 31 days to a better desk/office space once a day for the next 31 days.  I decided I need an INTERVENTION.  My desk/office is a crime scene.  Welcome to my dirty little secret though I am pretty sure it isn't a secret to my loved ones. I think I have broken every cleaning/clutter law.  The law of chaos is being enforced here.  Mom, look away. I am planning a 31 day intervention.  Join me on my journey.  I am thinking the first step is admitting you have a problem. In my best Dr Phil voice, "How is that working for you." This area is not working for me.

This is not how the rest of my house looks but for whatever reason this room is out of control. My goal by the end of the series is to have a office/desk area I can work in.  I want it to be a space that doesn't attract all this random stuff. I want it cleaned up and redesigned into a work space. I am going dive into this mess. I will be sharing what works for me and when I just plain fail to execute.
