Organic Organization

Photo from here

Okay, so I'm sure I have faults of which I'm unaware. However, I do have several that I'm quite sure of. One is that I'm very (very) disorganized. I have a lovely desk that looks quite Zen in design but not so much with papers, tea cups, blank c.d.s, recording paraphernalia, etc.

When I visualize myself at work in my studio, there is always a soft light coming in through the windows shining upon my beautifully, well-organized desk.

Do any of you have tips or tricks for getting and staying organized?
