Ideally, I would like to be the kind of person where everything in my life is in apple pie order. Unfortunately, there is no way this is going to happen in the foreseeable future!
But at this point I'm becoming more comfortable with this state of affairs.
I've read somewhere along the line that being messy actually can be good for you, and that many successful people are messy.
The main premise of the article was that creativity many times arises from the rubble!
I remember an episode from the "Roseanne" series where her family surprised her with a little office of her own from which she could be creative and write to her heart's content, something she'd always wanted. But once she was alone in her new little quarters, she spent all her time tidying up and organizing and never did get around to writing.
Then there was the attorney I worked with years ago who had to have everything just so, right down to the placement of his pens and deskpad. Conversely, the attorney in the office next to him was quite the opposite, and he seemed to accomplish a lot more, because he actually had more time. Why? Because he didn't fritter his time away on needless pickiness. (On the other hand, he did spend extra time looking for things! :-)
Plus, if you're too organized, it's too hard to be flexible and open to change, which also stifles creativity.
Then, too, I believe that people who appear to be too "perfect," with never a hair out of place, tend to make others uncomfortable. They seem almost superhuman, so that the rest of us feel that we could never measure up.
Finally, I believe that a little messiness allows us to relax and enjoy life more, instead of spending precious time trying to be picture perfect. In the majority of cases, it just ain't gonna happen! So let's be reasonably neat, but at the same time not go overboard.
