My Desk Is A Mess (But I'm Afraid To Clean It)

I've been working from home as a freelance graphic designer for the past year and a half. My desk is an absolute disaster zone. I have sketches, loose papers, half-empty coffee cups, old snack wrappers, and even a few dead plants from my failed attempt at growing succulents on it. Every time I start to feel bad about it or think about cleaning up, I just push the thought away until tomorrow because I'm too busy trying to meet deadlines and answer emails. But today, when I tried to find a specific file for an important client meeting, I literally had to dig through piles of stuff on my desk. It's gotten so bad that I'm starting to worry it affects my work performance. Do other people have this problem? Is it just me who can't seem to keep their workspace organized?
