Don't disturb my clutter

From the "I told you so" file: sometimes, more clutter means less stress, according to this article in Self. A key quote:

Order and predictability may sound better, but mess, it turns out, has its own rewards, even if you can't always see them at the time. “A chaotic period can be a catalyst for greater understanding,” says Rabbi Irwin Kula, author of “Yearnings: Embracing the Sacred Messiness of Life” (Hyperion). “Ambivalence, contradictions and tension ultimately give rise to wisdom.”

If that's true, I might be the wisest person I know.
