What do we keep on our physical desk and the desk of our life that we don&#8217;t need? What&#8217;s something that needs our attention but has languished in a desk drawer, or worse, right on top?<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Today&#8217;s prompt is to clean our physical desks. Take 15 minutes and clean off the space where we &#8220;work.&#8221; Once it&#8217;s neat and tidy (not perfect &#8212; we want progress, not perfection), then take a few moments to write in our journal about any task, project, situation that needs our attention. Perhaps the journaling will give us motivation to actually tackle the project. Perhaps if solutions were unknown they can become known. Regardless, figure out what&#8217;s draining our creative energy and patch that hole with a bit of introspection and journaling&#8230;then maybe, action.
