At the end of a session, the desk holds the tools from several tasks. Tomorrow's work begins with moving things around and deciding what belongs where.
Choose a brief reset that answers the next use of the space. Save the current work, put away tools you will not need and leave the next document or item easy to find. Keep sensitive papers secure.
Stop before it becomes a second project
You do not need to organise every drawer to prepare a surface for tomorrow. If you discover a storage problem, note it separately and handle it when you can give it the attention it needs.
Try the reset after a few sessions and observe the next start. If the same clutter returns, change the storage location or reduce what stays on the desk. Shared surfaces need an arrangement everyone can use. Leave the space ready for its next owner as well as for yourself, especially when work, meals and hobbies happen at the same table.
