default to clean and organized
Over the weekend, as I was doing laundry and cleaning up some of my things (as well as dealing with a spring cold), I thought of something… I think there are 2 kinds of defaults relating to clean and organized. 1 – “Keep everything clean and organized, except for the areas in use. Then clean those up when your done.” 2 – “Keep the areas in use clean and organized, and other areas can be unkept or less clean and organized.”
I was reminded by my roommate (not that he’s this way or that his house is this way… just another viewpoint) that there may be another kind of default here. 3 – “Everything is cluttered, all the time.” I didn’t include that default, because I don’t think it’s healthy or reasonable. It’s certainly not pleasant.
Which one are you? How does it affect your relationships? Do you gravitate towards one default in some situations and another default in others? Is this a priority, and if so does that affect your default?
Anyway, it’s something to think about when you take the time to look around and listen to your surroundings.
