Today on radio* they were talking about merits/demerits of being messy/disorganized.
Most great scientists were messy (Flemming had mould grown on his messy table(!), that led to Pennicilin).
Many great professors, writers and politicians are messy.
Neatness prohibits creativity.
Messiness helps discovery and re-discovery (forgotten memories)
Time it takes to organize could be same as time it takes to find something from a mess.
Neat Freaks are often evangelical, self-righteous, stigmatizers of messy people.
Mess represent diversity, Neatness represents monotoniety.
Industry supports Neatness. (drawers, boxes, labels...)
There are people who are Professional Organizers! They have conventions too.
Whoosh... it feels good to have gotten reasons to be messy!! :-)
