Messy Desk Makeover Part One

It's probably a little late in the "New Year" to have a resolution post but as a busy working mom, time is limited. My new years resolution is to keep up with my organization. I can be very organized at times...my problem is I am a piler, a creative mind that makes piles and piles of papers, things, or whatever! And then it gets out of control. I can't believe I am actually posting a picture of my desk in its current state but those who know me will not be surprised.

I have already started clearing and purging. The big question is will I be able to keep it a functional desk all year?
