Fairy Godmother Rachael Herrscher of Today’s Mama says, “Be Messy!” She writes:
Today’s Magic Wand: MESSY is the new NEAT!
Finally someone is backing me up! “Neatness is overrated. Let those stacks of papers pile up on your desk. Don’t worry about the laundry tossed in the corner. Let the icons clutter your computer screen. And whatever you do, stop obsessing over your letter perfect filing system. Bless your mess, says the new group of ‘mess-iahs’ spreading the gospel of healthy disorganization.”
I knew it! Some organizing is actually wasting our time, confusing us more, and making us less productive! AMEN! Take the 2 hours a day you spend organizing and straightening and spend them with your family instead!
Well I say PRAISE! to those mess-iahs! I can quit trying to exorcize my evil cluttery ways!








I agree, I think being messy (within reason) shows that you are doing things. I can always tell that I don’t have enough to do when my apt is cleanest!
True! However, if my house isn’t clean than I can’t focus on work as well…it’s a balance I guess, don’t be overly concerned about it. If you saw my bathrooms right now…aah! I should be more concerned about them!
