Just a realization from my clutter-filled desk: I think maintaining a certain level of physical disorganization actually supports my minimalist intentions by reducing decision fatigue. Crazy, right?

My friend said his chaotic desk cut decision fatigue, same minimalist logic.

That concept flips the usual minimalist logic on its head, which is fascinating. It implies that a disordered environment might force quicker, less deliberate choices. How does your friend define the line between chaotic and just cluttered, in practical terms?

My desk at work is a total disaster zone too, with patient charts and coffee cups everywhere. It honestly helps me just grab what I need without overthinking where I put it all.
