Being Tidy.
Should your home and work place be tidy? Yes, absolutely.
Not only does it show someone’s discipline and their level of respect to their
hard work, it is also an immense indicator of their organizational skills. Life
gets so much easier to manage if everything we use and own has a place, at home
and at work. There is nothing more painful than when we are in a hurry and we
need to find something important in the clutter of our desks. We are going to get
frustrated and irritated at ourselves, which has every chance of ruining our time
and our day completely. Organizational skills can tell a lot about a person
too, it can tell us how effectively and efficiently they operate when given a
task, it can tell us how much importance they give to the tasks assigned to
them, it can tell us how much they truly care about the task they perform and
much more. I can personalize this and tell you that back when I was in school,
not only did I not like doing my homework, I disliked it so much and didn’t
care about it so much that even when I happened to complete it, albeit at the
very last moment, I did not bother to sort my desk and pack it. I would go to
bed without bothering to tidy my shelves and pack my bags, and when I wake up
the next morning, things would get really frantic and panicky and I just wouldn’t
be able to find my homework and pack it. This has happened several times and it
is not until recently that I have started enjoying being tidy, organized and
systematic about my things. Everything I have is because of someone’s hard work and me keeping my things untidily
is just not the right way to show my respect to that hard work. I understand
that nobody intends to disrespect anyone’s hard-work by being untidy, some of
us are just lazy, but it still isn’t a valid enough reason to always be in a
clutter and a mess. Of course, this habit cannot be changed overnight, but with
enough perseverance and discipline, it is not impossible to turn the tides. The
best way to approach this, especially if you’re lazy, is by starting slow and
always reminding yourself that you’re only helping yourself. You’re unlikely to
lose or misplace your possessions, you are unlikely to be angry at yourself and
have your day ruined, and life is just going to be so much simpler. You’ll eventually
fall in love with it and wouldn’t want to be that cluttered mess ever again.
Start slow, but keep going.
Love, peace.
An Earthian.
