Interior Designer Turns Geek (Not Greek. Geek)
Your a Geek. You wear a pocket protector. What the heck is a slide rule?
"Wow! Did that just come outta my mouth? Sorry for the offense to those whom don't like the title of geek, smart boy(girl), my personal favorite, nerd. This must date me a bit. I'm sure there are other names(which I have never had the luck of being called, namely because I'm not that smart)names that I haven't ever had the inclination to learn or call someone. I'm smart enough to know I'm lucky if I can put a sentence together properly. The grammar wizards are going to tear me apart on this one I know it...
You out there reading this, are these people.. You wouldn't be on this site if it wasn't the case. By the way, Smart People is not a nasty name.
But I do know something you might not. Being smart isn't a justification for your work space looking like crap. Man, there I go again. Speaking so lowly. I have to get a better vocabulary.
I work visually. Color, texture, shape, I know it. I breathe it. As I design for a client, their needs, work habits and personality come to the forefront.
There are those whom have tried and failed to convince me, you work better in a messy, ill conceived work space. Silence grasshopper. If you were to give me a minute, let me swirl through a space, I could convince you a peaceful setting, is a energy setting. A place of organization, good theme, color and design will upgrade your personal productivity.
But you have to remember an organized space isn't always a pleasant space. (Notice the dead fern on the file cabinet.) Color has a huge effect on creativity. And that's what your doing, your creating. If you could or would put as much energy in your surroundings as you do on your smart stuff, your life would be beautiful. We humans are attracted to the beautiful. Beautiful people, beautiful scenery, beautiful things. Why then would we be satisfied with a (again) crappy work space?
Your habitat and work space needs to enfold you. Make it a place for creation. All kinds of creation...
You've heard it all before. maybe not as Not Smart, but the same stuff. You are what you wear? No that's not it. You are what you eat? Not it either. You are, what you surround yourself with... That's it.
I would pride myself on being as smart as you. Be thankful. Live up to your potential by surrounding yourself with good stuff, stuff that inspires you to greater stuff.
