Neat Freaks vs. Slobs - Page 2

I am a pretty organized and cleanly person, except in my home office. There is not enough storage, so the piles "run free!"

I can be a slob. But than I will have a cleaning urge one day and get everything cleaned up and swear I'll never mess up my place again. Than things slide for another few days

This is so me. Instead of having temper tantrums when I am mad, I try to clean instead...and then swear that I will never make a mess again! (I wish it worked)

I am an absolutely anal neatness and hygiene freak. I wasn't until I got my own place.

People that mess up their own places don't bother me, but I DO get really freaked out by dirty toilets and sinks, or when people mess up my place.

I confess! I am a slob, but I am trying to mend my ways. I fear that I would become a hyper controlling neat freak (no offense to anyone here). Maybe a perfect balance could be achieved!

Have any of you heard of FlyLady? Check her out at www.flylady.net. She makes a lot of sense.

That's exactly how I feel. I need to get a new place to live cuz the roommate I share a bathroom with is disgustingly unhygenic. She never cleans anything & it just makes me want to barf. LOL.

I'm a total slob at home, but im a neatnik at work. Since I work around food and I'm afraid of a lawsuit since I'm a poor college student who cannot pay millions of dollars, I make sure EVERYTHING at my station at work is clean. At my room, I'm sloppy. It has gotten me in trouble with my first roommate, so now I'm just sloppy on my side of the room.

I'm a neat freak / organizational freak. I LOVE to rearrange, and make sure everything is setup in my room for optimal space. I'd lie awake when I was little and think my room was so messy and decide how to arrange it, so I'd get up in the middle of the night, rearrange, and think, aw yes much cleaner.

SEMI-SLOB!

Want to be neat, but to much in Treasures!

Walls, tables and Cabinents are full and overflowing!

I'm a bit of a slob... if a strangers came into my room in the house, they'd think I was a slob... but my sisters and friends would know that it's not totally my fault-- I have too much stuff and not enough space! Cleaning my room consists of me stuffing as much stuff as possible under my bed (raised on cinderblocks).

LOL -- "cleaning up" for me means just making tidier piles.

Sound like me!...I know where things are, I just am too lazy to put them away...but after I do I swear that this time it will remain clean...yeh right! that last for about a day or two!

I am the happy medium...

I love things in order (and usually have things tidy), but when i'm busy I tend to throw things around to clean up later...I can't stand mess for too long

This is how I am too.

I have lots of stuff, but its all organized into rubbermaid containers. All my old video game systems, Babysitters Club books, etc are neatly organized into plastic boxes.

My office is so messy, it drives me crazy. One of the partners has so much junk he can't even sit down in his office - he doesn't have a chair! They seriously need to invest in a mini storage.
