We’ve got what science has to say about the connection between clutter and the entrepreneurial spirit. The Answer To Organization Psychological Science published a report that is great news for people with messy desks. They found these desks have just as many perks as the perfectly clean desks. The participants sat at a clean or cluttered desk. They had to answer questions and make decisions. The ones sitting at the cluttered desks had more creative ideas. Those sitting at the clean desks acting in a more conventional way. This leads some experts to wonder if a clean desk makes you react differently, if chaos leaves your mind free, and/or if someone works best when they first clear away the chaos.
