I'm vertical (seems like the only commenter who is, at the moment). I like to keep my desk spare; a cluttered desk tends to clutter my thoughts. But, in general, I despise any paper to keep track of anything. My desk consists of laptop, 30" monitor, and a moleskine. I keep notes in Evernote, keep track of lists in Google tasks, and in general, try to digitize everything. In a digital world, it's less relevant if you're vertical or horizontal. I keep all my thoughts a click away, which does away with the "out of sight out of mind" syndrome.
