Here's how Andy Warhol dealt with clutter: every once in a while, he'd scoop stuff off his studio desks and tables into cardboard boxes, tape them up, write the date on them, and put them into storage. These hundreds time capsules turned out to be wonderful for his archivists. I use a modified version of Andy's decluttering method. When my desk gets overloaded, I put everything in a plastic bin and hide it in the closet. With a clean desk, I can think more clearly. Later, I'll go back to the bin and deal with the stuff in it. In this issue of Book Freak: three pieces of advice for dealing with clutter.Do you have advice from books you'd like to share? Email me: mark@boingboing.net.
