La Vita Disordinata

For someone who loves order and functionality, I cannot keep my room nor car clean for the life of me.

Two years ago, when the mess began, I blamed it on my busy life...

Either I am lazy or I guess it just has not slowed down since, except when I have been traveling (and thus not in proximity of my bedroom or car to tidy them up).

Now I do not keep a trashy room or car. There are not dirty plates or other food remnants and such around... it just is not tidy. There are clothes on the floor (clearly an understatement, as there are enough clothes to go through an entire bottle of detergent on my floor) and if I did not sleep above my covers with my favorite blanket, my bed would likely never get made (so it just does not get unmade)!

I think I have almost given up at this point. I will get it cleaned and then within one search (because I have to search when things are put away, rather than knowing where they are when things look ary), it looks as though a tornado has struck once again.

I have been thinking about goal-setting a lot in the recent days, and perhaps this is a goal that I need to set. Part of me wonders if it is worth setting as a goal, but then I think about the times when it just simply stresses me out to walk into my bedroom... it is definitely worth setting as a goal.

So I guess the question is do I initiate action on this goal now... or should I be honest with myself, admit that it will likely be a failed goal if attempted now, and just be intentional upon moving into my new apartment after graduation...

I'll think on that. For now, rest assured that I am sleeping on top of my covers on a bed that is surrounded by mountains of clutter. Sleeping will be my oasis from la vita disordinata.
