Emergency desk system

I would love if my table were clutter free all the time but it's just not practical. I always seem to have stationary or beauty products strewn across my desk at any time. To help my desk look cleaner, I've come up with a system for my stuff so everything has a "home".

I keep a small metal pencil case/tin for my stationary so I can just throw everything in there when cleaning. I have a spot where I stack all my notebooks in the top left corner of my desk. All my beauty products sort of congregate to the bottom left corner of my desk (I will get a bin later on or something) and my laptop stays in the middle of my desk.

Although this system is pretty scattered and can be messy, it's an easy way for me to get my desk in order if I need to do an emergency quick clean.
