The Art of Mess
Many people suffer guilt over their messy desks and homes. We look at how a little disorder can actually benefit creativity and art. David H. Freedman , co-author of A Perfect Mess: The Hidden Benefits of Disorder , will put John Schaefer's messy desk under the microscope.
And Nick Keelan, professor at the music conservatory at Lawrence University in Wisconsin, will discuss how disorder is intertwined with musical performance.
Send us a photo of your mess and then tune in to see what it means.
