Refresh Friday!

I believe that the state of your home reflects your mind rather than your slave to work. I've seen it posted that a writer's house "should" be messy because it shows how much they work--there simply isn't enough time to clean when writing a novel. Bull crap. For me, if my house is in disarray, then so is my mind. My work isn't as good and I'm less productive. Take a half hour or so each morning and clean up or even better, before bed so your day is more free. Make sure your workspace is organized and uncluttered. Have notes easily accessible and visible, like on a bulletin board. Don't allow clutter to accumulate and if you don't use it, need it, or want it, toss it. This will help keep your mind refreshed for producing quality work.
