That "cut the fluff" effect spilling over from paint to pitch deck is wild. Makes you wonder how much other physical clutter in a workspace is silently adding mental junk to our digital work.
But what if some clutter actually helps? My messy desk has random stuff that gives my brain a quick break, then I can dive back into writing with fresh eyes. That pile of books or weird trinket might look like junk, but it stops me from burning out on a blank screen. A totally clean space can feel just as distracting because it's too sterile.
