Every morning you wake up. You look over at your desk and notice that the ashtray is overflowing again and the curdled milk from last weeks cereal is starting to smell. You grab some coffee and make a little room to put down your cup. You start your daily grind. Churning out articles, editing photos, designing websites, making graphics, editing video. You know, freelancing.

Do you wake up in the morning to a messy room in ragged tattered pajamas? What a way to start the day, haphazard and tattered. Just maybe the state of your bedroom and pajamas is having a negative effect on your life.

Would it surprise you to know that sloppy penmanship is often a sign of high intelligence? What are other traits smart people share?

Cleanliness is next to Godliness, or is it?
