Your Desk Says What Kind of Genius You Are
By: Geoffrey James

These 7 famous geniuses had 7 very different workspaces. Based on your desk, what kind of genius might you be?
Like everyone else, geniuses need a place to work. However, since every genius is different, they naturally have different ideas of the workspaces that will make them productive.
This post (excerpted from an excellent infographic from the U.K.-based design firm Made to Measure Blinds) shows the work areas belonging to seven of the greatest geniuses of all time. Based on the appearance of your desk, which type of genius might
you be?
1. Creative clutter.
Your desk is covered with documents and notes because you're more interested in ideas than in making things tidy. Not to worry, though. If you really need to find a particular scrap of paper, you're pretty sure where it's lying in the stack.
Your role model:

His diary-turned-professional playbook,
Frankly Speaking, garnered 110,000 views after it was published on Medium.
"Most of career advice books are written by people at the apex of their careers, who are light-years removed from their early days at the company," Marconi said. "So I decided to take a stab at writing a success story in real time from the perspective of someone just starting the journey."
The result is a playful article series with illustrated anecdotes and pointers on communication, creativity, and management. But the greatest takeaway from
Frankly Speaking may be what its reception can tell us about the next generation of leaders in the workplace.
