Your Work Space: Messy or Neat?

When you're stuck in a spiral, to change all aspects of the spin you need only to change one thing.
Christina Baldwin

"Most people believe they would be more successful if they were neater," explains David Freedman, co-author of "A Perfect Mess," in Work and Family Life (December 2011). But he contends, "studies have found that levels of office messiness actually increase with education, salary, and experience."

Sam Gosling of the University of Texas has a different perspective: "Clean, tidy work spaces are signs of people who are organized, methodical, and task-focused. Less neat people tend to respond more to cues, such as stacks of papers, folders, post-it notes, and laid-open books to remind them of what they've done and what they need to do."
