“Data smog: newest culprit in brain drain” is an article showing that information overload is getting some attention in psychological circles.
“Unclutterer » Archive » Is everything in your home in its best place?” talks about how mis-placing a trashcan can look good, but be a hindrance. A friend of mine recounts a story where her father located the trash in a closet to make things look nice and her mother responded by putting a can where it was useful.
