Quote: “A tidy desk is the first step towards losing everything important.”
— Holly Moses
Holly Moses delights in pointing out the comic gap between ideals and reality. While productivity gurus preach the virtues of tidiness, she reminds us that the mess is often where the magic lives. That “cluttered” desk might hold ideas, scraps of brilliance, or at least the pen you thought you’d lost forever.
Her words reflect a playful resistance to perfectionism. Life isn’t a catalogue — it’s closer to a stationery cupboard that’s exploded. In her view, chaos is not a flaw to be corrected, but a landscape of possibilities.
As The Sage might add: “I once tidied my study. I’ve been looking for my beard comb ever since.”
