Last month, I dismanted my desk. I took the entire top shelving unit off, which was full to the brim with everything from bills and stamps to CDs and paper clips.Call it a feng shui movement or plain-old boredom, but all the clutter was driving me crazy. So I stripped the junk, put most of it away and went with the standard monitor on desk. (Okay, there’s also a lamp, phone and picture of my dead cat.)
I am a neat person for the most part, but I know many creatives that thrive in their messes. Apparently, some people work better that way–and a new study confirms it.
