Be Proud of that Messy Desk! It Could Make You a Winner
With work piling up on our desks every hour of the day, it's difficult enough to get through it all; forget about keeping our little nook in the office spic and span. It's nearly impossible to keep everything neat and tidy all day long, right? But there's a fine line between a little disarray and...well, chaos.
Ok, so how many of you have a mess on your desk that borders on catastrophe? Come on, you can tell us. Actually, we'll even take it one step further. OfficeArrow is going to reward you for having a less-than-pristine workspace. As a matter of fact, the messier your desk is the better. If your workspace currently has piles of papers, folders, supplies, food, books, reports or whatever it is you can't seem to put away, we want to see it. Simply take a picture of your desk and email it to us. It's really that simple.
And, to show that you're not the only one with a few slovenly tendencies, check out my boss's desk! That's right - OfficeArrow's finest right there, folks. So, email your pictures and if I haven't been fired, I'll upload them for everyone to see. The community (together with the "experts" here at OfficeArrow) will pick the messiest desk and the winner will receive:
- $50 to spend with Quill Office Supplies so that you can purchase some much needed organizational tools.
- A one hour phone consultation with our very own Sara Caputo, Productivity and Organizational Coach, and owner of Radiant Organizing. She'll guide you to finding some solutions that will help get you back on track.
The contest begins on Wednesday, November 12th and ends on Thursday, November 20th, so start sending those pics now! Our winner will be announced on Friday, November 21st.
Go on, share your chaos! We're a very supportive community.
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED. Contest begins on 11/12/08 and ends on 11/20/08 at midnight EST. After the contest ends, each person who submits a reply will be entered into a drawing and the winner will receive a $50 gift certificate to Quill Office Supplies and a 1 hour phone consultation with Sara Caputo, Productivity and Organizational Coach. Odds of winning depend on the number of entries received. The winner will be announced on www.OfficeArrow.com on 11/21/08. Winner's acceptance of the prize(s) constitutes permission for OfficeArrow and its affiliates to use his or her name, photograph and likeness for purposes of advertising and promotion without compensation.
