- LTC Lunch: Organizing for Creativity
- Do we need to be organized to be creative? Routine tasks—organizing notes, images, and other files—can free up the intellectual (and emotional) space for meaningful work. How can we instill in students habits that allow them to answer the question: If you gather it or create it, can you reliably and quickly find it again?
