TINY TEXTS IN ENGLISH
Mess Makes You More Creative – Read,
listen and learn a little English!

According to Kathleen Vohs, a marketing professor at the University of Minnesota, working in a messy space can boost creativity. In an experiment, she put 48 people into messy or tidy rooms, and asked them think of new uses for Ping-Pong balls. The people in both rooms came up with about the same number of ideas, but, the messy room subjects came up with more highly creative ideas; five times more to be precise. So, do you need to make your workplace messier? Maybe not! When interviewed by Inc. Vohs agreed that a messy room may be best for brainstorming, but an orderly setting might be better for a fast meeting where a quick decision is required.

Study the words
Messy- untidy
Boost- increase
Came up with- invented, thought of
To be precise- exactly
Messier- more untidy
Orderly setting- tidy space
