The urge to tidiness seems to be rooted deep in the human psyche Many of us feel threatened by anything that is vague unplanned scattered around or hard to describe We find comfort in having a script to rely on a system to follow in being able to categorise & file away We all benefit from tidy organisation
- up to a point A large library needs a reference system Global trade needs the shipping container Scientific collaboration needs measurement units But the forces of tidiness have marched too far Corporate middle managers & government bureaucrats have long tended to insist that everything must have a label a number & a logical place in a logical system Now that they are armed with computers & serial numbers there is little to hold this tidy-mindedness in check It's even spilling into our personal lives as we corral our children into sanitised play areas or entrust our quest for love to the soulless algorithms of dating websites Order is imposed when chaos would be more productive Or if not chaos then messiness The trouble with tidiness is that in excess it becomes rigid fragile & sterile In Messy Tim Harford reveals how qualities we value more than ever
- responsiveness resilience & creativity
- simply cannot be disentangled from the messy soil that produces them This then is a book about the benefits of being messy messy in our private lives; messy in the office with piles of paper on the desk & unread spreadsheets; messy in the recording studio the laboratory or in preparing for an important presentation; & messy in our approach to business politics & economics leaving things vague diverse & uncomfortably made-up-on-the-spot It's time to rediscover the benefits of a little mess
