This is really interesting:

Some of the most accomplished people I know are incredibly disorganized. They work at the last minute. They stay up all night. They constantly scramble to find what they’re looking for. But they still get it done. Other accomplished people are incredibly organized. What gives? The truths underlying this reality:
Being productive does not make you accomplished.
It does, however, make being accomplished less stressful.

What do you think?
Note: Mouser's sleeping habits and accomplishment is a perfect example :P
