Writers' Rooms

The Guardian has photos of offices of 36 authors' writing rooms. My favorites are Graham Swift's and Rose Tremain's. Seems like I like the ones that have doors on file cabinets for desks.

Something that's hard to miss is how much clutter all of them have. The same holds true for most professors I know. Is there a correlation between writing productivity and clutter? Am I being counter-productive to my academic career by trying to keep organized?

Did you notice how many of them don't use computers? I think, comparatively, that your productivity in a neat office using a computer will beat their productivity in messy offices writing longhand all to pieces.
