My mind was cluttered with a pile of have to do's and not want to do's. Needless to say I was frustrated and actually not too pleasant to have around. My office abounded (again) with clutter not unlike Andy Rooney's (of TV fame) former office. I noticed last week that his working area had succumbed to the hands of a hired office organizer. That means that I can no longer justify my piled down office with the comment that it is not as "bad" as A.R.'s. When I am in the total creative mode nothing matters but the creative project, when I emerge from the creative pursuit, reality hits my eyes and I wonder, "How did all this stuff get piled everywhere?"
