According to the theory/study/practice of feng shui clutter reflects stuck energy and an inability to progress in your life.
A cluttered kitchen is bad for the family, a cluttered bathroom is bad for getting ready for work... I hate to know what a cluttered study means. And I'm a clutterbug. I have stacks of papers, fabvric, and books all piled up around my study. Mountains of unfinished letters and quilts. Old starburst wrappers, seed catalogs, good grief what a mess!
And I never seem to get it clean and stay clean.
Obviously I am doomed to an unproductive life style.
Can I blame the clutter for not writing today?
What a load of rubbish!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry lei, but i'm of the philosophy that chaos shows a brilliant, intelligent mind. Why spend time constantly putting things away? I'm not against things being tidy, I just find it hard to keep things that way.
Complete waste of time to study, much less believe that stuff!
ReplyDeleteI have a cluttered (clean but cluttered) place, and I consider myself very productive. So far today (amidst the normal clutter), I have: baked a loaf of banana bread, baked a loaf of cinnamon bread, gone grocery shopping, made chili, fed the kids (mine and roomie's), written a chapter and chatted online to friends.
Considering it's only 1 p.m., I think I"m doing pretty good.
You mean I can't blame the clutter for my unproductive morning?
ReplyDeleteDrat!
I guess I'm just lazy :o)
Although I would eventually like to reclaim my sewing table from under the mess of fabric. And maybe sort the papers that make my desk a fire hazard. In the meantime, my computer desktop is clean!
Bah.
ReplyDeleteClutter helps me think. %-) As long as I have space to set my tea mug and occasionally a plate and/or notebook and nothing is falling on the keyboard, I don't care how messy my desk is. :P
Not getting things done is entirely blamable on tiredness and laziness, if you ask me. lol

Yes, you can blame the clutter, but do something about it. :)
ReplyDeleteI have clutter, too, but I try to keep on top of it. It's not easy...
