A Genius At Work...

I find it fascinating to get a glimpse behind the scenes at the workspace of great people - so enjoyed this blog post with pictures of Albert Einstein's desk from Life magazine in 1955.

It's too easy to fall into the 'revision timetable' problem of very tidy people, where more time is spent on preparing for the activity and clearing up after it than is spent on the activity itself.

Creation is a messy process, and we shouldn't be ashamed of that. So celebrate a messy desk, a sloppy intray - but only if you've doing something great in amongst it all. :)
