The Joys of Clutter

I simply cannot be bothered with certain things.  Constantly organizing my surroundings is one of them.  I will never understand the neat-freak mentality.  I understand organizing your house before company arrives, or making your workspace presentable.  Look clean, sell clean.  I get it.  However, why organize a space that will pretty much never be seen by anyone except yourself?  For example, my bedroom has quite a bit of clutter.  However, I know precisely where everything is.  The map of my clutter is thoroughly laid out in my head.  I can see it.  When an outside party attempts to intrude upon my space and rearrange things...all is lost.  Clutter is a sign of intelligence because the clutterer is mentally aware of all his posessions through the use of mental notes.  Furthermore, I feel those who excessively organize and label everythng are compensating for something.  Can you really not remember where you put things?  I think some people would label their left and right shoe if they could. 

First of all, do NOT attempt to organize or clean my area.  I do not need the help of outside parties to keep my space organized.  My living and work space may appear to be a mess to the untrained eye, but I know exactly where everything is, and I am the only one that needs to know where everything is.  Whenever I find that my space has been tampered with in an effort to make it conform to the norm of organization, stuff gets misplaced, and all my work ruined. 

I don't make my bed.  Actually, YES I do.  I make it EVERY DAY....right before I get in it.  Why on God's green Earth would I make my bed in the morning???  I don't get in the damn thing until 15-18 hours later, why would I waste the precious 30 seconds in the morning when I could be on the sofa scratching my balls while watching SportsCenter???  WHY??????  I will never be sold on making my bed in the morning.

Furthermore, who needs the anxiety of maintaining all that organization?? I would much rather focus elsewhere.  I will not look at a life of achievement and wonder if I could have been more organized.

My advice to everyone is to relax the excessive organization, and focus more on bettering yourself in more practical areas of your life.
