I personally think tht a tidy desk is an indication of an efficient mind, of someone who is able to focus on the task at hand and not get distracted by clutter,
Well you're wrong there. Someone who is able to focus on the task at hand, and doesn't get distracted by clutter doesn't need a tidy desktop.Also having to click just once to open a program is obviously more efficient than having to click at least twice in between which you're waiting for Windows to respond.
