Mompreneurial Glory
In Which I watch YouTube and read Christopher Lasch and the book of Proverbs
This is literally Not A Picture Of My WorkSpace:
So anyway, I didn’t read anything important or do anything on my Special Day TM except go to work, but I did happen, while looking for fluff on YouTube, to come across this important tour of someone’s office of whom I had not, heretofore, heard. Here’s the tour:
It caught my eye in between checking on Glennon Doyle, as I am wont to do, and Rachel Hollis. And also because I have been rethinking my own “workspace” because, as other people in my household reject pieces of furniture that I can’t bear to throw away, in doing my level best to accommodate them, I shove them into my tiny office. Same with books, and odds and ends, and paper, and anything else it seems we might want when the apocalypse unfurls.
I think, after watching this, that I need to do a video tour of my own office so that you can discover the secret of exactly what it’s like to try to climb over baskets full of flotsam, dilapidated bookshelves, and storage bins full of winter sweaters just to arrive at my desk. Minimalism is not my name and not my game. Nor practicality. Nor furniture that matches. Nor an art wall for which to shoot reels. Nor ring lights—actually I do have one but I shoved it under a pile of other stuff because I couldn’t figure out how to make it stand up or how to use it mostly because I wasn’t interested enough to take the time (I only tell you this so that you will see that I am not in the least bit vain, but no less alive to the irony of literally blogging about my own life as I criticize other people’s, fluffing my own virtue under the guise of “commenting” on the inclinations of others.) Not that I am against any of these aesthetic accommodations, not at all. Maybe I need to hire someone to rescue me out of the pit I am accumulating for myself.
Anyway, this particular little tour of this person’s office fascinates me.
