Being messy is good

I have finished reading the first three chapters of "A Perfect Mess" by Abrahamson and Freedman and I m really glad that I have started reading the book. The book has given several real life examples which illustrate how being messy (upto a limited extent) can actually be useful. The book basically tries to reason out that the cost associated with being neat and tiddy most of the times exceeds the costs associated with being messy. The book also states that messiness can also lead to creativity at times and I could not have agreed more with it.
