does your messy desk promote your productivity?

My desk is usually a mess but when I'm feeling productive I tend to tidy it up.

I clean up occasionally, but it's usually riddled with papers from various projects

a messy place means i have a list of stuff to do (primarily cleaning). i need all the free brain cells i can get, so i've gotta have a clean place

my desk is usually in chaos. i try to tidy, once in a while and then it takes me ages to find everything again.

Spotless!
I think that kind of messy approach may work for the creation of traditional art, but it would be a setback for design work. You shouldn't have the clutter of client's project distracting you from another client's project.

Good interview with Kawashita Sato (Uniqlo, National Art Center Tokyo, etc)
http://moffittmoffitt.com/report…"As we walk past an original Takashi Murakami artwork (a personal gift from the artist) another wall slides back to reveal an expansive boardroom table lined on either side by more than thirty chairs. The view from the boardroom leads across the courtyard to the studio workspace where 7 designers quietly and diligently work away on one long stretching communal table. There is no mess. There is no noise. There is only focus and concentration on the task in front of each designer."
