Study, less distraction

Yesterday, I had one of these moment that I want to change something. I suddenly had the urge to reorganize my bookcase. You think that in a study there are only study related items, it isn't. I have so much stuff not related to studying.

Lets start of with my L-rail system. there are books and a lot of paper. Like three different kind of notebooks. But none of them are full. I think anybody can relate to this situation. So like the tape that I have collected together I decided to actually use it. I haven chosen a small notebook 10x15cm with about 30 pages left and put it on my phone/tablet stand as a reminder to use it.

I also put everything related to music (except mine Pringles speaker) away. It doesn't mean that there isn't other stuff like pc related in my bookcase. It's just the way I listen to music has evolved an my phone and mp3 player is basically enough for me.

I also switched from containers. The first picture shows a small snack bowl. I used it before in my bedroom and because of project Treasure I  switched it to a transparent dessert container. 'Cause the smaller the container, the less you can put in it.

As you can see the bowl is kind of big. Crazy thing is, a year ago when I used it to put hair elastic and earring in it, I found it too small. In this bowl I have put those things that doesn't have a home or I am just to lazy to put it back. Yes, it happens even a minimalist can be lazy.

I sort out the things in it and a lot of it are needed, like my usb-stick and sd-card etc. I also threw somethings away, donate and put it back were it belongs. In between I also found things that I never used like a telephone strap. A glance at my usb-thumdrive, I see that the (telephone)strap is worn out and replace it with a new one. 'Cause thing not used are wasted. And in the end I ended up with a small glass with the things I need. When I look at it I am happy. It it fits in my hand and doesn't take much space, ideal for me.

What happens to the bowl. It will be washed and be put back in the box where it came from in the first place. It's time to study!
