DO YOU THRIVE IN A MESS

I also really enjoyed that article. But I was thinking that instead of having his chair in a corner, he should have a hole in the middle of his lazy susan and sit there instead. That way you get to be in the middle of all your projects and the middle wouldn't really be very useful for organizing anyway.

Well, I like the idea of having a clean workspace, but I'm too unmotivated to get up and clean my desk off. I'm the only messy person in a house full of neat freaks. I'll clean up the mess eventually, when I realize it's starting to look like a pigsty; but, of course, my judgment on when a room looks like a pigsty is far more lenient than anyone else in my house's.

My room is usually a mess, with papers all over my desk. I scribble alot when working out ideas and so on. The papers are somewhat cluttered over the desk, but I always seem to find them whenever I need them. I do keep my bookshelf organised tho. I need to know I can pick any book from the shelf without having to look for it. Also I may need to kick a pile of clothes out of the way when entering and move some appliances from my desk when working.

My computer isnt such a mess. I hate large unsorted folders because its harder, and pointless, to remember all the exact filenames. Especially my download folder with papers, ebooks and random files needs cleaning every so often. I didn't name those files so I can't really sort through them.

Anyways , I just cleaned my desk a bit and put up a whiteboard to scribble on. Maybe that will help a bit, but I hope I don't miss the ability to look through previous scribbles....

my mom cleaned my room while i was away... and it actually felt good because i could see my floor. i tried to stay neat and clean, i really did... but three days later, everything is back to...well, on the ground and in places that they don't belong. but strangely, i feel "at home" and comfortable. honestly, my room doesn't even *look messy to me anymore. anyway, despite the major disorganization, i know where everything is. my sisters like to come in and steal something and i ALWAYS find out.

Last time I cleaned my room I lost my ID badge for work, it turned up a few weeks later after my room had returned to its natural order.

It's not that I thrive in a mess, it's that I just can´t help being messy. It's not just my room though, I think I'm beginning to take over the entire house. This extends to my appearance as well, especially when I'm really concentrated in researching something; I can't bother to clean up my room or check if my clothes have been washed or not. The mess just gets worse and worse until I reach a saturation point and tidy everything up frenetically. I seriously would love to be one of those people that manage to be orderly.

Yeah, I'm a mess when it comes to where I keep my stuff. I have about 4 notebooks (possibly more) scattered around for writing and keeping notes on things, but I finally decided to hang up a clip board so I can have one that is right by my bed for when I need it. I also have 6 milk crates filled with books (I really should downsize on my library at some point..), a clay pan filled with DVDs, guitar tuners and pens (as well as other pens and pencils scattered about) and loads of things of interest laying around (a bible since one of my hobbies is studying Christianity, glass and clay cable insulators that used to be used on power poles, and several old alarm clocks).

The vast majority of the time I live in a huge mess and other people complain about it. Then I feel bad.

I thrive in oxygen.

I thrive wherever. I clean whenever I have guests over or if I tire of the arrangement of things in the rooms.

My room is always messy and like everyone I pretty much always know where everything is because I can specifically remember placing it in whichever spot or visualizing where it is. Anything that I move always has a specific function to it, if it doesn't have a function it doesn't get moved (at all lol). So yes, I definitely thrive in a mess. The only time I really clean up is if I have to wash my clothes, out of necessity of course because I don't wash until all of my clothes are dirty.
