The Social Life Of Paper - Looking for Method In the Mess

An excellent New Yorker book review of Malcom Gladwell's "The Myth of the Paperless Office" on the role of paper in the modern office. It challenges the conventional assumptions that a messy desk is bad, and a well organized paper management system is good. I normally don't like to recycle mefi and Arts and Letters Daily posts, but with my background in document management as well as my propensity for a messy desk, I thought this article was particularly apt.
