The Messy Desk


Caleb sat down at his desk to start his work.

When he opened his notebook, papers began to slide out.

His desk was full of loose papers, pencils, and books.

“I can’t find anything,” he said.

He tried to start his work, but he kept stopping to look for what he needed.

After a few minutes, he felt frustrated.

Then he decided to clean his desk.

He stacked his papers, put his pencils in one place, and threw away anything he didn’t need.

When he finished, his desk looked neat and clear.

He started his work again and finished much faster.

Caleb realized that staying organized helps him work better and save time.
