Anyone who has seen (most of you should have) any of Lennys videos from his office will know that sacred, pristine desktop belongs to a man of order, calmness and thought (sometimes great). I on the other hand shoot videos from my office that do not show my desktop as it lies under a burden of sins. My desktop (like so many others) is a futile attempt to organize the disordanization that invades my business and personal life daily. It serves as the battle ground for imporant cross table discussions, It reflects my multiple passions with a cacophony of inspirations, Tchotchkes, meaningful and uninterpretable studies/reports. Nevertheless, if its on my desk, I know where it lies and what priority it has. And I can boast of my desk as a recent report in Science suggests that a messy desk is a sign of genius (https://on.inc.com/2JiVrwq). They found that "Participants in the messy room generated the same number of ideas for new uses as their clean-room counterparts. But their ideas were rated as more interesting and creative when evaluated by impartial judges." I admire the bare woodtop of Calabrese (serene surroundings) but prefer the bustle of what is strewn across my desk (wood?)
