Arranging Your Desk

On March 10, 2008, How Magazine ran a feature titled Make Your Creativity More Productive Around the Office. It focused on Behance, the online portfolio site and their approach to office space. I like the simple idea of keeping stuff up on the wall and keeping the desk clear. The notion of balancing order with chaos. And the simple idea of lining your wall with fiber board (homosote) to make a large pin up area.

The famous “Done Wall” that is a testimony to ideas happening as a result of action steps being captured, processed, and completed.
