Physically, there are books stacked everywhere.
The computer files, however, are highly organized.

But I always find my way through my own mess. I know exactly where my stuff is and I kinda hate it when someone tries to tidy up my desk without letting me know first. I get lost.

AS I SPEND PRACTICALLY ALL DAY, AND A GOOD PART OF THE NIGHT HERE, SITTING AT MY COMPUTERS, I HAVE TO BE TIDY.
I DON'T EAT OR DRINK AT THE DESK, I DON'T USE HARD COPY DICTIONARIES, (ALL ARE AVAILABLE ON INTERNET), I DON'T MAKE HARD COPIES OF ANY WORK FILES, NOT EVEN INVOICES.
I USE EXTERNAL HARD DISKS FOR SAVING FILES.
SO, YES SIR, I KEEP MY PLACE CLEAN.
NIGEL.

...it is what I call tidy. I suspect there might be deviating opinions.

I always mean to be tidy and keep everything in its own place...But at the end of the day there's always a pretty big mess on my desk, especially when I'm working on a large project!!:P

... but I read recently that the more untidy your work station, the more intelligent you are, so I don't feel too bad about it...

I like to start a new job with the workspace tidied up, but it gets more and more untidy as the work progresses.

Immediately in front of me is tidy - keyboard front, dictionary left and mouse right - but beyond that things vary according to how much time I have on my hands (at the moment, none at all so it's a bit of a mess behind my screen - I can see camera, dirty glass, scraps of paper with notes, mints, biros, hairbrush, chocolate wrapper, two watches with dead batteries, dongles... it goes on). I've also cunningly hidden some mess underneath my dictionary so it's as if it doesn't exist as I only close...

Unless it's a time of severe crisis however, my electronic files are always in order, otherwise I would be at a complete loss. ▲ Collapse

As others stated, computer files are tidy and organized. My desk is tidy or untidy, depending on the job/s I'm doing. It's not dirty, though, but computer & tape recorder cables are part of the "landscape" you'd usually see there.

Below and behind my desk there are too many cables which now more or less form a bird's nest. I'm just lucky that I don't have to find out which cable is for which equipment.
But on the other hand, the desk itself is mostly well tidied up and only has the "work related" books, papers, gadgets etc. It saves lots of time when you know where things are and don't have to start searching every time.
