How important is the organization of your work space and desk area? Are you more creative in a cluttered unorganized space or a clean and very organized work space? Most photographers talk a lot about the workflow process but, how about the work space? Don't get me wrong workflow is extremely important, but, I believe work space organization is extremely extremely important the creative process!
Today I specifically spent my entire afternoon working on my cable management. Most people will say isn't that something reserved to gamer's and tech nerds. Well, Yes, but we can learn a thing or two from their process. And, lets admit it we are kinda nerd's too. My desk has 14 terabytes of hard drives, two powered USB hubs, three monitors, wacom tablet, three speaker system, router, and all of the other stuff that goes along with this kind of setup. Man it's a ton of wires under my desk, so many I sometimes kick a hard drive power cord out of one of the four power bricks.
So, I saw this video below (shout out to setup wars!) I said I gotta do that! And man after all that hard work, I am done, and it was worth every hour I spent under my desk today. So if you have a similar situation growing under your desk, I promise you it will be one of the best projects you will every do before your next real photography project.
