Wife and I shate our home office, but have separate desks. She believes I should spend more time organizing than working (?). Any other masculine Hoggers here in this condition?

Ck out the ddl for more detai


We each have our own room for our office. My wife comes in my office telling me it's a mess, how do I find anything. I tell her I'm always working on several things and know where everything is. To make her happy I file things in folders, never to be seen again. Two days later its back to normal.

Her office is always neat as a pin.

I subscribe to using a "piling system". It is very efficient and nothing ever gets lost Although I may not know exactly where it is on my desk however I know that it is in there somewhere.

More responses confirm my sys, it is the est. Sippyjug used the term "piling system" and I like that one very much.

Obviously, the solution is for you to purchase a bigger desk!

We have a different arrangement - we share a double desk and work side by side on our home office. The messy side (on the right) is wife's. 😊

Once a month I fix it up and the next day it's back to normal. My wife clucks when she looks at it, I learned to ignore it.

When I worked my desk was always clean and organized by subject/task matter. At the close of the day it was all locked up because of confidentiality. One night the office was broke into and things plus info was stolen. Nothing of mine got out. You can figure out the rest of the story. Clean desk every night
You and your wife’s desk look like you are working on your PHD at the present….Piled High n Deep! Keep working and one day you will achieve it

Rule 1): the wife is always right (you did marry Miss Right, didn't you?)

Rule 2): do not argue with your wife (see rule 1)

when in doubt, say, "Yes, Dear", nod and do what she says until she takes on another improvement project, and then, like the rest of us, carry on with your original purpose

An early learning of six simple little words have steered me through 63+ yrs of marriage: “Yes dear, you’re right, I’m sorry!” Memorize that, and never forget?!

Don't know if you ever got to see Red Green show, but he and the members of Possum's Lodge had a man's prayer. It went like this" "I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to, I guess."
