I see how "coherence" can be a trap, but for me it's a balancing act. I am actually a bit messy, and very idiosyncratic, eclectic and eccentric, but it does work for me. I know many folks who fall out the other side though and never hit water in their well digging by dissipating their energy on distractions. The main thing is if the practice(s) works!

I like your legibility and coherence ideas, it's a nice pair of lenses, and I'm also glad to have folks to discuss this sort of stuff with!
