Only if you’ve already lost the control of your life a long time ago… then it really doesn’t matter and you might not care about anything but wine about having no money.
Can someone explain what it’s like having a dirty room everyday? I’m a clean freak so my house is spotless. I’ve got a 4 roombas zooming around all day everyday. All my trash…goes in the trash can. But i see people having loads of water bottles on their desk for weeks and it doesn’t faze them. I just can’t stand filth.
I tend to forget about my many half-finished projects unless I can see them, so most horizontal surfaces are set up and have a project of some sort on them. I have added more bench space and plan to add more. It does mean that if I have drive to do a task, it’s already set up and I don’t have to worry too much about takedown either. I could probably stand to dust more (or more often than when I move house).
Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of tools and odds and ends in drawers, cupboards, toolboxes etc. But like, if a work piece has glue drying on it (say), it will probably live where that is happening until I next work on it.
Trash migrates to the appropriate bin quickly. I have been depressed (and am still) and have had dirty dishes and trash pile up a little, but I really don’t like insects or errant smells in my space, so I usually stay on top of it.
I just kinda remember roughly where things are. I have tried to be more organised, but I wind up losing things until I next open the very logical place I put something.
I do clean up for rent inspection, but my current place doesn’t have them.
EDIT: When I have housemates I tend to match their level of organisation in shared areas. I seem to wind up doing all the dishes for some reason.
