I could be a poster child for how NOT to do it!!
Yeah, this don't work so well.........
There are 3 locations like this in the house: office(shown), basement storage shelves and basement workbench (pictures to follow)
Um, it's not very effective for cameras, either.

That's pretty good. I have ONE mess, that goes from the basement work benches, and flows to the upstairs work areas. Cleaning is on the list, just not at the top yet.
Maybe we could start a group...
You are welcome too, prof...
In the true spirit of entropy, it should probably be a DE-motivational group?

Yes, that is my "living room".
(sorry for the blurry/crooked photos, I was in a bit of a hurry)
But the truth is you will likey just have custom storage and a custom work space along with the mess. In high school I dated a girl whose father was an archtect and he designed and built both in his own home to do away with the mess, but he still had the problem.
My experience as a general contractor was that the people that wanted these things to make the mess go away never succeeded.
Life is inherently messy. The choice between small messes and big ones is personal.
Very true, Loopy. And in general, creativity is a messy business. When someone's office is spotless and tidy, I wonder how much work they actually achieve in a day.
BTW, thanks for the fun thread, el Rico. A fairly high ratio of replies to views here.
...um, I'm not very productive, either! (exception to every rule thing!!)
It appears you may actually be able to find things you are looking for and proceed with productive work! That seems a bit of topic here!!
(Seriously, your arrangement looks great. My goals are something like that in the basement. I'm allowed a tablet or maybe a laptop in the living spaces....if 'm lucky!)
...and more importantly for both parties, when you're NOT, you're NOT!
Thanks for the interesting comment, but it sounds like a good solution to several problems and is therefore off topic. Some of you guys really have trouble concentrating and contributing effectively!
Basement, shed, trailer.
I'll post more, if you post some.
At my age, I'm no longer embarrassed!!! It is what it is, love me or leave me!
I'll think about it. I'll have to clean up the mess so it doesn't look so messy.
What's with the new avatar? I liked the marble.
What is really scary is that the people with spotless and tidy offices or workspaces actually know how to get someone else to do all the creative work for them while they reap the benefits.
