After reading Bruce Mau’s “Incomplete Manifesto for Growth” I found my new favorite website to look at for motivation. I found all forty-three points Mau made to be useful in my life. The one point that really stood out to me was number twenty-five: “Don’t clean your desk.” It is actually very ironic that this is my favorite point considering the fact that most people who know me consider me a neat freak. However, I think that is why I chose number twenty-five to be my absolute favorite advice from the manifesto, because it could really change my outlook on things—or help me, according to Mau, “find something in the morning that you can’t see tonight.” Maybe my tidy ways are keeping me from letting my creative juices flow in my designs and projects; maybe my imagination is too neat and I just need to stop being so darn clean. I am going to take Mau’s advice and not clean my desk tonight, hopefully I wake up to find something I forgot about last night.
I found Mau’s “Incomplete Manifesto for Growth” at this website: http://www.brucemaudesign.com/incomplete_manifesto.html.
Check the website out! I am sure you will find some inspiration for yourself - I know I sure did.
