The right side of the brain is the creative but illogical, nonlinear part of the organ, and it doesnt cater to systematic tidiness. Is it possible, then, for right-brainers to be organized? Organizing guru Silber (Time Management for the Creative Person; etc.) has some answers. "We (right-brainers) can be just as organized as our left-brain counterparts (even more so), but we prefer to do it in our own unique waywith a little savoir faire," he writes encouragingly. In addition to general principles, like learning to understand "why you put things where you do" as the basis for a personal organizing system, Silber offers concrete advice: put things where it makes sense to put them; create zones for certain activities and organize accordingly. And best of all, he says pile, dont file your papers: some people do thrive on chaos, he acknowledges, and visually stimulated people can find it helpful to have things in plain view. If youve been fighting a lifelong and losing battle to get rid of the clutter, Silbers sprightly and thorough advice could be the answer.Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
