A Perfect Mess by Eric Abrahamson
The Hidden Benefits of Disorder — How Crammed Closets, Cluttered Offices, and On-The-Fly Planning Make the World a Better Place
A lively case for the hidden advantages of disorder, arguing that moderate mess can boost efficiency, creativity, and resilience across work, home, and society. Drawing on research and real-world examples, it shows how over-optimization and rigid systems often backfire, while flexible, adaptable approaches outperform tidy but brittle ones. It reframes clutter not as laziness but as a strategic tool, offering practical ways to balance chaos and order to achieve better results.
