See, I knew my congenital untidiness was masking brilliance. And now I spend my time trying to conquer the mess, all my intelligence has disappeared ...

(And I've just realised Ali said almost exactly the same thing, which makes me feel even more daft for repeating it!)

That has reassured me about my horrendously untidy workspace.. which I can't abide but somehow can't avoid. I forget to put things away or clean up when I'm creating!

Now I am untidy - but that would dement me!

Just as well our marriage is based on the attraction of opposites ;-)

My filing system is based on the fact that I normally have a good memory so I can remember where everything is. Sort of extension of Pelmanism is any can remember that game.

I have turned over a new leaf recently though - honest

I would be one of the chronically untidy ones. Correction I am one of the chronically untidy.

Love your blog. Came over from Anne B.. I am a bit untidy, not as bad I hope, but my boss used to ask me to tidy my desk occassionally (I guess that is pretty bad!)

Great, makes my house (and mess) feel quite mediocre, really! Though I wouldn't go as far as saying zen-like....I wish!

I'm here to prove one can be dim-witted, make zero contributions to research, commit to nothing, completely ignore worthwhile causes...AND be chronically untidy as well.

Represent!

Fab! Can I blame my untidiness on a brilliant mind too then? I'm not quite as messy as them, so perhaps I'll just claim an active one instead.

That portrait of "Wellies, affectionate" is stunning!

2008-10-09T03:53:00.000+01:00

Oh my, I couldn't work or think with that clutter. I don't need a zen office, I like to think mine has a creative amount of mess, but there is a limit to the 'creativity' I can handle all over my floor/desk/shelves.

Good Lord
such a contrast to the image of your workspace!

I would not be able to think with all the clutter :)

Have I mentioned that I've spent several afternoons, at my new job, cleaning?

Me too--I can't even make a pot of coffee in the morning unless the kitchen counters are clean!

Oh my. I would have to clean things up before I could even think about working in that office space!! Lol!!
