Believe

The best 5 days in the United States. I saw the best of the world, and I met some of the best people in my life. Sounds so cliché, but life is like a dream - miracles happen when you least expected it.

Keep believing.

The Art of Arranging

I started reading this book today, Ultimate Method for Reaching the Esentials (佐藤可士和之超級整理術) by Japanese Graphic Designer Kashiwa Sato, and I thought it was very clever.  In this ever so complicated world, we always tend to take in so much information every single second that we lose sight of things easily.  Through tidying space, information and thinking, we eventually have a better picture of what the essentials are and lead to more efficient problem-solving.  Not only can this apply to design, it can also be applied in our everyday life.

I'm only in the first few chapters of the book, but I already think that's what I've been lacking these days.  Too many things cluttered on my desk, too much information to take, too many things to think about.  Just too much going on in life I get a little stuck.

This book also reminds me of some impressive project I saw on the web few days ago.  Swiss Artist Ursus Wehrli is releasing a new book called The Art of Clean Up, where he takes everyday scenes or disorder and rearranges them into neat rows, sorted by different attributes.  Here are some of them.

Are you stuck in life at the moment? If yes, it's time to start arranging.
