We’re going to need a smaller boat

September 29, 2005

Revieworld is growing and desk-space is getting tight. So, my desk having been usurped by one of the development team, I find myself blogging from the small round table that we also use for improptu meetings.

It’s much smaller than my previous desk with neither drawers nor filing space. So I’ve transferred my files to a box that I cart around with me.

Previously, my desk was piled with documents, scraps of paper, bits and pieces, etc. Now I leave the office with the table clear and everything sensibly filed. I feel much more organised and am working more in the here-and-now than before. The only thing that’s bad is that the size of my previous desk carved out a larger part of the office that was clearly mine, whereas now those implicit boundaries have disappeared.

We’re getting some new furniture delivered this week and I may be going back to big-deskness.

Not sure if it’s such a great thing…
