Today I am going to my law firm (still affiliated there, not paid, don't do anything for them) to clean out my office. Why? It is bothering me. My office there is the last stop for every document and exhibit from any trial we have ever had. That's pretty much what I did the last few years-manage huge pieces of litigation, which is a euphemism for taming paper. I literally managed paper and its digital sibling, databases (yes, it was as exciting as it sounds). No one kills trees like lawyers.
It is bothering me that I haven't left that office as clean as I would have liked. I don't know why. Perhaps because it is technically still my office and I like neat offices. I am that person who can't take on a new project unless my physical environment is tidy. It's as though, if I get my physical environment in order, then my mental environment will follow. It usually works, too.
We'll see if I can transfer a clean lawyer's desk to focused thinking about church membership and what that means...
