What Science Has To Say About Being Organized vs. Being Messy

One of the most iconic photographic remnants of the great physicist Albert Einstein is not of his home, his pastimes, or even his studies, but rather of his desk. The photograph, taken by LIFE photographer Ralph Morse on April 18,1955 just hours after Einstein passed away, depicts Einstein’s workplace in all its messy glory. To this day, many believe Einstein’s desk stands as proof that disorganization is a side effect of creative intelligence. But 60 years after the scientist's death, new research suggests an organized work and living space may have as many benefits as a messy one.
