I like things being organized, but my desktop migrates to a chaotic state fairly quickly.

Sometimes my approach bites me in the butt (like when I’m trying to track down a piece of paper from someone who hasn’t heard of sending digital copies).

This is a great post. I emailed it to my husband, who tends to thrive in piles. Piles make me crazy. I will say that I have had messy desk before, but it usually means, I need to stop and regroup. It is a signal for me to slow down and get organized. I do much better in what I call “organized chaos”. I believe I coined this phrase, though others may use it.

Your poll should have one more category – clean to messy and back again. That is closer to true for me.
