I work hard to keep a neat home. Too hard. Some people find it easy to keep everything in it’s place, but for me it is and always has been a lot of hard work. It feels like a failure on my part. I mean what the hell? Are house-elves a thing that everyone else has?
Not me. I have just learned to wallow in the filth.
ReplyDeleteI can't just let this sit here. Helen is a perfect minimalist, with a place for everything. Her comment is a lie.
DeleteIt IS hard. Lately I've been trying to think, Will it take less than 1–2 minutes to put this away? If so, just do it NOW. It's helping a little. Just don't come into my office.
ReplyDeleteMy "office" is a small converted bedroom with surfaces covered in pebbles and driftwood. I haven't figured out how to organize it.
DeleteNot me either. I just have a secretly messy office, where all piles eventually come to rest.
ReplyDeletePiles. The bane of my existence.
