If I were to hire a creative person, I would rather entrust my money to someone with a desk that's tidy to the extreme than to the stereotypical creativeguy with dead animals somewhere under those piles of paper. Not because I would trust him more not to lose the money, but because people with clean desks are better at throwing things out and discriminating between relevant and useless - two skills that come in handy in the creative business.

It shows how effectively i was able to pretext for pedagogical purposes as a filer so i could make some points about the IO vs IR tradeoff that have been irrevocably implanted in your consciousness. I am probably more of a hybrid with filing and piling periodicity highly predictable by the academic calendar. Take a look at the evidence yourself -- a photo of my home office right after i finished two days of grading the 202 final exam. http://flickr.com/photos/95075812@N00/329651796/ I am amused by the use of “Bobling” as a synonym for “filer.” It shows how effectively i was able to pretext for pedagogical purposes as a filer so i could make some points about the IO vs IR tradeoff that have been irrevocably implanted in your consciousness.

I always end up about once a month going through my migrating mass of mail, bills, receipts, and now school papers that end up on my floor, desk or kitchen counter, always promising myself that next month I'll actually organize everything upfront. i like the idea that i'm more creative or productive than people who don't have my "bad habits" but i'm not sure that i'll buy that claim. i tend to think that i simply have more of a problem "switching contexts" for lack of better catchphrase. that's to say, i get focused on a problem and often ignore other things going on around me until that problem or curiosity has been resolved or satisfied. mail, email, presents, responsibilities, sometimes fall by the wayside until some burning question in my mind is answered. it's a bizarre way of moving through the world, but it has served me well (and not so well at times) thus far. in any case, it has yet to provide me with a larger income or make me more productive as far as I can tell, or at least so says my bank account balance. personally, I pile, and I just can’t seem to ever stop.
