I’m Not Messy, I’m Creative!

Leaflets, postcards, badges just of the things you can usually find occupying many a creative’s desk. We are like magpies when it comes to collecting visual gems. We are visually stimulated creatures who find excitement and intrigue in much of the visual world we live in. These trinkets can also act as stimuli, a ready made answer to a colour match issue or a solution to an impasse.

To the non-creatives a messy desk indicates a messy, disorganised mind and creates havoc with their sense of order, but the creative knows differently… a messy desk can actually be the catalyst to new ideas and stimulate the creative process, where as a tidy desk may be great to eat your lunch on, but it also illustrates a conventional mind.

Professor Kathleen Vohs, of the University of Minnesota, who conducted a recent survey said:

"Being in a messy room led to something that firms, industries, and societies want more of - creativity. Previous research has found that a clean setting leads people to do good things, such as not engaging in crime, litter and showing more generosity. We found, however, that you can get really valuable outcomes from being in a messy setting. So the next time your work colleagues imply that you are untidy just reply “I’m not messy, I’m Creative!”
