Working in a cluttered, dusty, and disorganized space WILL reduce both your clarity and your creative output. What’s one to do? How do you reorganize your space to optimize your hours at work? What visual and sensory elements will harness and support your energy? The Gifted Underachievers discuss this with a view to Pat’s overhaul of her “cloffice” (closet-office—a common solution for work-at-home creatives in urban centers with high housing costs). Listen in as we discuss “life architecture,” images, colours, and resources from creativity architect Donald Rattner and from our very own Gifted Achiever guest, writer and creative consultant Carrie McConkey . Questions for Listeners: * Describe your creative space in basic truths. * How do you feel when you’re in it? * Any plans to spruce it up and make it more functional? * If yes, what will you do?
