The Creative type of person.

[ThyGentleman]

They say that the creative type of person is the most unorganized and messy, I ask if this is true with other creative people. Unfortionatly I kinda live up to that because my rooms a mess, don't get me wrong I do clean up everyonce in a while but I have had those streaks of not.

Now this is not somthing I made up I remember reading this somewhere I cant remember where, it was either on the internet or in a book. I find that to be accurate because of what I have seen.

Are you a messy creative type or a clean and organized type?

(Also not saying that you can't be creative, clean, and organized)

You just lost the game.

[POTaTOS]

That's the case with me.

[Suprememessage]

I am creative and I'm not organised at all, I admit it...

The same goes for me, I am creative, but not organized well.

You'd find it difficult to find a person on newgrounds who's actually organised and has a goal in life.

I guess Tom Fulp is pretty organised and has goals in life, some of them even already finsished, most likely.

[Danavers]

I keep my shit organized and don't have much of an imagination, so no, I'm not the creative type.

[ThyGentleman]

LMAO! Im glad to see Im not the only one I am unorganized. I do oranize every once in a while but most of my stuff is just scattered. I just dont know the explanation behind it...Why are creative people so messy?

I am not sure, but I for once don´t bother if stuff lays unorganized around, the room just looks how my thoughts are, spontaneous and unorganized, but still with a certain structure to it.

"i am not organized so i guess that means i'm a creative person even though i don't have anything to show for it"

Heres somthing I found on the Internet, This is not me I believe its some girl that wrote this:

its true - I think that the creative mind prioritises everything creative. I think that creative people in the main have brains which are bursting with ideas and in order to create these ideas the focus is only on producing whatever the creation is. Everything else is seen as a mundane chore. I think that creative people can get brain overload of ideas and often flit from one idea to the next before completing any one task and sometimes appear to be creating chaos around them in the process. Creative people are often perfectionists who strive for only the best and if their surroundings have become messy and is way from perfect they sometimes just opt for what is the quickest creative fix - maybe pick up a pen and write a poem about it.! I am a creative person and have just moved house and decluttered for the first time in years. it has taken up all my time and I have not been able to do any artwork whilst this process has been going on. I was meant to be cleaning my computer and look Im on here- just couldnt resist writing something down!

I'm creative and my room/space work is kind of unorganized, but I can find my stuff inside that mess. It's an "organized mess" so to speak.

lol I guess that makes sense, Its not like I lose things often I do know where they are most of the time.

Yes, I even hate it when someone clears up my room, since I can´t find my stuff anymore.

[Bacchanalian]

Yeah... this kind of thing certainly takes no creativity at all...

Spend one second at his firm and you can tell, from nearly everything being white, and clean, and the lack of labels on doors cause they're just so cluttery - that this man has no creativity.

[LavaWave]

I don't know about you guys but my room is organied, I used to be creative or atleast was more active in the terms of creating games, now I just can't feel like working on anything ever and btw I do not have a goal in life other then to live life the way it makes me live, no real ambitions, I'l just get a job by atleast 23 or close by but other then that my room is organised as always.

imo being organised has nothing to do with being creative, I believe it has more to do with how much motivation and self-esteem a person has but oh well, I could be wrong.

Its not the matter of that its just that theirs a higher number of creative people that are unorganized, I being one of them just wanted to see if there were more out there. After this thread it may seem so, that the theory is in fact pretty acuurate.

You seem to be the only one saying your now organized but no longer creative. That may have to do with it.

[LucasJC]

Meh. I'm a neat-freak but I'm to lazy to clean.

Might have to do with either being lazy or have more important things atm like school homework/assignments and I tend to play games more then ever lately that I just feel less interesting in creating games, as of right now I do indeed have assignments to work on and can't always work on games or play games when I want, some of them take a lot of time to finish as you have to find information from the web, after finishing this school I tend to get a job so yeah, it get's worse/less freetime from there.

[RubberTrucky]

My stuff is the avatar of Chaos. Yet, I'm creative as a burlap sack.

And how often do you think he frequents the forums? Fuckin loser.

[saltovergray]

The workspaces I do stuff in (LEGO, drawing, etc) are pretty messy, as is the rest of my room and my comp. desk in the living room.

Creative? I'd say so. Lazy? Of course.
