Clutter and Creativity: Are They Like Love and Marriage?

A friend sent me a note this morning with a variety of tid-bits about things she thought might interest me. One was a reference to a study that said our clutter problems may be similar to Frank Sinatra's view on "love and marriage."

The studies apparently indicate that the more creative one is, the more likely that person is to be a messie. Apparently they go together like the "horse and carriage!" Here's what I have been wrestling with since she shared this pearl of information. If I qualify as a messie does that mean I am creative? Because if constantly fighting in the battle against clutter is an indicator, I am way more creative than I am giving myself credit for these days.

Get Crazy Organized Is Back

Hey, we're back! My wife and I have been away getting a new project organized but we're back now to share the crazy struggle to get and stay organized. We joined with our friends James and Carol Ann Wiley to tackle the Internet newsletter publishing biz. We developed a monthly newsletter to allow us to share the adventures of retirement life with others. Check out the fre*e newsletter if you're looking for information important to those living in retirement.

http://www.retiredandready.com/ is THE location for you.

As I said, we are back to carry the fight to the Clutter Monster again. We have picked up some great contacts, content, ideas, stories and funny stuff that we are anxious to share with our fellow clutter fighters. The newsletter and blog worlds are not really that different as the key rests in sharing information. Tune back in as we renew the support for our fellow "flat surface" police to keep a place for everything and everything in it's place.

Remember once more, you can let your clutter drive you crazy or get crazy organized.
