A Perfect Mess: The Hidden Benefits of Disorder - How Crammed Closets, Cluttered

<< < (2/2)

Deozaan:
I think app103 phrased it more appropriately (in IRC) by calling it organized chaos. It's not to say that having everything be a total mess is beneficial. But if you have some clutter around the house it's probably not as bad as many so-called "neat freaks" might lead you to believe.

iphigenie:
Some chaos is good for creativity - too much structure and too much time spent reorganising all the time sure aren't helping. Overplanning is certainly not helping anyone and its a major pain when someone imposes it on us.

On the other hand clutter tends to sap some of my energy and productivity - there's always so much visible to do, makes it hard to actually do anything or stick with one thing long enough to finish it.
