Right now, I have five different stacks of notes, papers, photos, etc., on my desk, plus some standing up in my writing stand. Then, there are four more stacks on the floor around me. If anyone else walked into this room, they would wonder what the heck was wrong with me!LuAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13049897327581610278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5972342285468874854.post-62278515631525342902009-03-04T13:14:00.000-05:002009-03-04T13:14:00.000-05:00Hi Terri: I like to think of clutter as ‘encrypte...Hi Terri: <BR/><BR/>I like to think of clutter as ‘encrypted neatness’. <BR/><BR/>God gave man the gift of ‘pattern recognition’ and clutter gives us an opportunity to use that gift. If my wife comes into my office and moves even one item, I know it immediately. <BR/><BR/>But, it really makes no difference. It’s what’s on the printed page that counts. <BR/><BR/>I really like this topic. Thanks.<BR/><BR/>VinceVincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12707773426729777989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5972342285468874854.post-73813567918136262972009-03-04T11:46:00.000-05:002009-03-04T11:46:00.000-05:00Terri, these images of all that stuff stacked arou...Terri, these images of all that stuff stacked around you is hilarious. That is so cool that you can work around chaos and clutter. <BR/><BR/>I am just the opposite. I am SO distracted by clutter that I have to normally take ten minutes a day per room to clear the clutter and straighten. It's like it's watching me, taunting me, distracting me with whispers, "Pick me up. Put me away. Someone might drop in. I have a place. Put me in my place." and all that clutter glares at me until I finally get up, obliterated it. <BR/><BR/>Then I can sit down and concentrate. LOL! <BR/><BR/>I love how each writer is different..but boy do I wish I was more like you in the sense of your great ability to write amid chaos. <BR/><BR/>I loved this post. <BR/><BR/>CherylCheryl Wyatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01250649739932615615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5972342285468874854.post-31838019839568735222009-03-04T11:16:00.000-05:002009-03-04T11:16:00.000-05:00Good comeback.

One day the president walked in and saw my desk and said: “A cluttered desk is a sign of cluttered mind.”<BR/><BR/> Knowing the president took great pride in having nothing on his desk top, I said, “And what would an empty desk be a sign of?”<BR/><BR/> He just shook his head and left. I just know he was thinking that creative people were just hopeless. <BR/><BR/> Since then science has discovered “Chaos theory” and “fuzzy math” <BR/><BR/>We are winning!<BR/><BR/> VinceVincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12707773426729777989noreply@blogger.com
