Do you clean your room?

Journal Entry: Fri Nov 18, 2011, 1:38 AM
It seems that over the years I have been a bit lazy when it comes to organized work space. And by work space I don't talk about only about my desk and a room where I am but also everything inside my computer. For example desktop and files that I have in my computer, mailbox and even deviantART message center, etc. So today I decided to organize it all! I don't know why but I like to keep things organized, even if I often just talk about it. :lol:

I finally have a empty deviantART message center. You don't even know how long I haven't had one. I have almost been there many times but it hasn't been totally empty for couple of years now. It feels a bit strange but thats ok.

Now comes the difficult part - mailbox. I like gmail and it is awesome but you just have too much space there and you can easily get lazy and don't care about it. Well, it would be all fine but I just can't find important conversations anymore. It would have been awesome to make a folder for important stuff or something similar to that but oh well, too late. Now I'm sitting here, 4652 unread mails in my mailbox and trying to find stuff I need. :D

I have learned that every time when I have a new "inspiration wave" where I want to do a lot of things and work hard, then I usually always start with cleaning my room, my desk or something similar to that. I have no idea why.

Do you do similar things?

Yes, me too! :O

I used to have OCD, and I still do, but it's a mild case now... I leave a lot of things messy and I want to clean it up, but I procrastinate. :no:

Thing is, if you kept it clean, it wouldn't be that way? At least, that's how I think.

I am exactly the same, anyway. :nod:

Yeah, its a good feeling when everything is where its supposed to be. Then again its sometimes fun to clean something that has been messy for a while as you can see the actual result then. :lol:

Well done. Once you get to the point where your message center is totally empty then its much easier to keep it under your control. ;)

21,037 deviations (I cleaned some before but more showed up), 59 new articles and 55 journals.


I haven't cared about the activity messages though xD
