I realize that the object for this blog may be to sell more office supplies and especially organizational products. However, I feel compelled to offer an oposing view today.An interesting question was raised on slashdot, are you a slob? Do you pile papers on top of folders on top of game boxes? We know from the photo shown here that at least one person out there is. A google search for messy office photos tells us that it is a serious problem. Or is the problem so serious? Yes, we might agree that many people are "slobs", but the slashdot discussion provides from more insight: The arguments then begin: "I think you are missing the point. Messy people aren't more productive because they save time on not clearing things up. The theory is that our brains are not organized in the same orderly manner as books on a library shelf. Our minds are actually quite messy and random, which allows us to be flexible and creative by linking seemingly unrelated things together in an instance." If you have this "problem" buying tons of organizational products may not help you. It might however, make your co-workers and family members happy. Slobs Found To Be More Productive Than Neatniks |
