An empty whiteboard is a sign of productivity

I’m not normally in the habit of cleaning off my whiteboard right away, but since I’ve started using Russ’s window I feel it would be unneighborly of me to constantly leave it cluttered with my work. As I was erasing it this morning, I mused that a clean whiteboard, like a clean kitchen, is a sign of productivity. This doesn’t hold true for every kind of whiteboard usage, but generally the longer I leave junk up there, the longer before I actually digest and use the information. The idea should be to work out a problem, capture it and move on.
