I've just realized... · 7:16am Sep 23rd, 2015
...that the only people that can keep a home spotless are the ones that are never in, except to clean.
Anyway! News...
Blog about writing! Tomorrow! I've been sitting on it, but it's about time it comes out!
Waiting on edits for a couple of things, but soon to be done... and... to those that still keep asking...

I'm always curious to know what folks do to get their posts deleted...
But, in this case, I think I'll just point out that I think the people with the cleanest homes actually have more living space per person. Either that or the property is well organized, and the organization of space is an art form that is distinct from cleaning. In fact, the better you organize the less you have to clean.

I think it has to do with habit. It is true that my room is messy, but when I clean it, it stays clean until I start getting lazy again. My kitchen is always clean because... you keep the kitchen clean, duh!
I think that is fairly true. Although any time I have to go dig someone out of a hoarder house mine becomes super clean as soon as I get off shift.
When I was a kid, my mother had various home cleaning tasks delegated out to me and my siblings on index cards in a little box, with varying day requirement depending on the task. Vacuuming, bathroom cleaning, etc. It worked reasonably well, but it still was a constant effort. I'd like to think that the house looked fairly nice as a result, though.
Hey man, my motto has always been, "I live comfortably in my house, so it's home," in terms of how messy it is. Don't get the wrong idea, it's not a pigsty, but I'll have a sink start filling up with the daily dishes before finally being bothered enough to clean them. That's the same idea with everything else in my house really.
So again, if your house is your home, it's bound to always have a bit of a cluttered dining table XD That area is bills, that area is school work, that's job paperwork, ah, you get the idea :)
And if you ever feel bad about a mess, just remember that someone always has a bigger one lol.
3413799 I have no idea, since I don't delete comments.
It isn't messy or dirty, it's having everything I usually use on a consistent basis within easy reach at all times.
You have obviously never met my family, then.
You randomly drop in to visit them and their house is still spotless.
I honestly have no idea how they do it.
3413799 I think a lot of them time it's people looking back in retrospect and realizing what they said was actually really stupid.
Noooo not your fucks! *scurries around and picks them back up* You might need these, some day.

It doesn't have to be really bad. My touch of OCD has nothing to do with organization (it compels me to finish reading what I start, regardless of what that means for my sleep cycle) and my room is highly organized simply because I've got so much stuff crammed in here (shelves of used books, boxes of spare computer parts from the mid '90s, etc.) that, if I didn't keep everything neat and tidy, I'd have trouble finding things or get stressed out from how all the visual noise would interact with my ADD.
(It also helps that most of my in-progress work is digital, so that doesn't clutter up the real world.)
