Comments on: The Cost of my Messy Desk … http://www.rickcartwright.com/blog/the-cost-of-my-messy-desk/ Thoughts on Leadership, business, innovation, and technology Sat, 19 Nov 2011 21:41:04 -0500 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Rick http://www.rickcartwright.com/blog/the-cost-of-my-messy-desk/comment-page-1/#comment-78 Rick Mon, 11 Jan 2010 08:24:39 +0000 http://www.rickcartwright.com/blog/the-cost-of-my-messy-desk/#comment-78 Gary, Excellent article. The author states that, "Attaining complete neatness and order may only be an illusion. Following rigid organizational systems and living life driven by a day planner means you're operating with blinders on." I don't believe 'complete neatness' or 'rigid planning' is the objective. Neatness and planning can become the job instead of just being 'organized'. I have seen it taken to that extreme. To the credit of the Encore Speaks!, I didn't hear them suggest either. I'll be sure to avoid perfection ... that's easy for me:). Thanks for sharing! Rick Gary,
