Slobs Are More Productive Then Their Neat Counterparts

Is there a rats nest behind your computer? People says a messy desk is a messy mind, BUT there is a study that dispels that. It seems that messier people are more productive than neat people. A new book that argues neatness is overrated, costs money, wastes time and quashes creativity.
Yup I agree – I try to be neat, but alas, my office (read: cube) and home workspaces are always a clutter.

same here, on my desk is a barrage of mugs, papers, keys, mail, post it’s, pens of various colors, pictures, documents, etc…. and I wouldn’t have it any other way… my big problem is clothes … I really suck at that… I either live out of the dryer or out of a hamper… most of my shirts never have and never will see a hanger once I take them off of it at the store. I use the 2 hamper system… clean and dirty… pull from the clean and put in the dirty… when fresh out of the dryer (if they make it out) place back in dirty… why waste time hanging them!?… or making a damn bed
*back in the clean ;)

You’re creeping me out, man. I am the same way – the only time my clothes ever see a hanger is if a new girl is coming over for the FIRST time. :D
