My desk went from a mess to a clean setup in 3 months and it's all because of a single rule

For years my desk was just a dumping ground for cables and random papers, it was honestly embarrassing on video calls. About three months ago I saw a setup post here where someone said 'if you don't use it at your desk at least once a week, it doesn't belong on your desk.' I started moving everything off that wasn't my laptop, monitor, and one notebook. The difference is crazy, I actually want to sit down and work now. Has anyone else had a simple rule that completely fixed their space?

My one rule is to not let my coffee mug start a family of its own.

@barbara429 I get where you're coming from but honestly I think letting your mugs date is a bad idea. Once they start pairing up you lose control of the whole cabinet situation. Next thing you know they're borrowing each other's handles and leaving rings on the counter together. It's a slippery slope. Better to keep them single and focused on their job holding coffee. Just my two cents but I've seen too many mug breakups end in shards everywhere.
