I do get a lot more done when I wake up earlier. But not too early, because I like to go to sleep right after "House Hunters International" which goes off at 11pm. As for the "small amount of time" for organizing the office. Hahahahahaha. It takes me a small amount of time to open the door to my office, which I haven't actually sat down in since ... January. I've thought about just setting it on fire.* (Note: if my house coincidentally catches fire, it wasn't because I set it!) #1 I find to be the most helpful.

The more I thought about the musical inclinations, artistic power, and then there was the married-to-the-minister thing, I'm wondering if perhaps you're twins separated at birth. Of course, Jess seems to have more office space.... I think Kate and Jess could be friends in real-life.

Supposedly one is for art and the other for desk work, but it doesn't actually work that way.

I would organize it, but where to begin? It has too many purposes: workspace (desk), art studio (I've run out of room for canvases), music room (5-piece drum set and keyboard), workout room (ellipse machine). And it's about 90 square feet. Where would you start? Anyone else dealing with an over-purposed workspace? The truth is that I fear my office. I would organize it, but where to begin?

It is the only way to really get things done! My advice is to schedule time when you don’t check email or answer the phone. It is the only way to really get things done!
