			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="http://www.will-self.com/writing-room/">writing room</a> of author <a href="http://will-self.com/">Will Self</a> (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Self">Wikipedia</a>), where he organizes his complicated stories through copious use of small yellow (and pink) adhesive papers on the wall:</p>

<p>Check out the <a href="http://www.will-self.com/writing-room/">whole collection</a>.</p>
<p>Reminds me of taking all the pages of my Ph.D. dissertation (a hundred or so) and organizing them on the floor of a friend&#8217;s living room. (Luckily it was a large living room.) It was extremely helpful and productive but frightened my friend who returned home to a sea of paper and a guy who had been indoors all day sitting in the middle of it with a slightly wild look in his eyes.</p>
<p>(Thanks to <a href="http://www.evl.uic.edu/spiff/">Jason Leigh</a>, who mentioned the photos during his lecture at last week&#8217;s <a href="http://icore.ca/">iCore</a> summit in Banff.)</p>
