One clear surface dey my front. Na one only, but e clear, and I fit see di whole of am. I go keep dis one surface clear, and I no go turn am to project about di whole room, because na exactly so every version of dis tin take end before. One surface, wey I hold. Na standard wey I fit actually meet on ordinary Tuesday be dat.
Light dey land different for empty table. Space dey for elbow, for cup, and for di tin wey I actually come here to do. Notin on top am dey ask me question or dey remind me of sometin wey I neva handle. Di wood get line for im body wey I neva see for long time. Na my shoulder notice am before me.
Di scatter scatter no ever really be about di scatter scatter. Na every small decision wey I don postpone, wey pile up for place wey I go must look am. Every object on top dat table na loop wey neva close, and loop wey neva close no dey sidon quiet. Dem dey run for background and dem dey charge rent. I bin dey pay attention to dat pile di whole day without say I ever once look am wit my eye on purpose, and na di most expensive way wey person fit take own anytin. Notin on top am urgent. All of dem dey shout. Every decision wey person postpone gats dey stored somewhere, and na inside di room wey I dey work I bin dey store my own.
To clear one surface no be to arrange house. Na to close ten small small decision at once, and my head dey quiet in a way wey person fit measure for every single one of dem. Di place wey I dey no be di background of how I dey tink, na part of di machine wey I dey take tink. I bin dey try repair my focus by pushing my focus harder, wen di cheaper solution bin dey sidon for di table for my front di whole time. E easy well well to change di room pass to change di mind, and di room go still change di mind anyhow. I no fit tink clear inside space wey dey ask me twenty question at once, and no amount of discipline dey fix dat one.
So I go set timer for ten minutes and I go clear one surface. No be di room. No be system, no be method, no be weekend project. One surface, and wen di timer ring I go stop, even if e neva finish, because di version of dis tin wey dey turn to whole afternoon na di version wey I no dey ever start again. Na to stop on time be di part wey dey make am tin wey person fit repeat.
Ten minutes buy place wey I fit tink for me. Dat na one of di better trade wey dey available to anybody, and e go dey available again tomorrow.
