Why a 15 minute desk cleaning timer works
- Clear the surface first
- Do not stop to read
- Cables and mugs last
Everything off the surface into one pile, wipe, then return only what earns its place. Whatever is left goes into a drawer for a later block.

Questions people ask
How do I clear a desk in 15 minutes?
Everything off the surface into one pile, wipe, then return only what earns its place. Whatever is left in the pile goes in a drawer for a later block.
What if the job is not finished?
Stop anyway and note where you reached. Two or three blocks will tell you the real size of it, which is more useful than a guess.
What if I do not finish in 15 minutes?
Stop anyway and note where you reached. The point of the block is that it repeats tomorrow, and it only repeats if it stays short enough not to dread.
