I used to think creativity came from chaos.  You know, that if I lived my life as “chill” as possible, and stayed away from order or organization, I would be free to be as creative as possible.  Now I’m not so sure.

I’ve come to believe that the maximum amount of good creativity comes from a “flexible” organization.  That is, as I am organized and as I am flexible, I am then in the best position to produce the  greatest amount of creativity.  i.e. when my office is disheveled into a massive amount of paper and old advertisements from vendors aI’ll never buy from, I don’t feel very creative, I feel stuck and yuck!

So slowly I’m learning that I get more from being organized in the different areas in my life.  This is not easy for someone who loves to exist “free”,  and who loves chaos.  But you know what comes from chaos?

More chaos.
