If you’re living life,
you’re too busy
to worry about
everything being
so neat.

You cannot be
tidy and creative
at the same time.

Moderately messy
homes are a fact
of life. Too much
neatness can be
considered obses-sive-compulsive.

Is being neat and
organized overrated?
Cleanliness is next to godliness, the saying goes, and many
believe that being neat and organized saves time and money,
increases productivity and decreases stress. However, some
insist that being messy and disordered isn’t necessarily a bad
thing—messy desks are highly efficient and moderately messy
homes save time, are more inviting and are even more healthful for children. What do you think?

Neatness reflects an
organized mind and
requires discipline. It is
a good thing to teach
to the very young so
that it becomes second nature.

Perception is very
important. All it takes
is one inefficiency to
break that sacred trust
of doing business with
someone on something.

When one goes into
any area, the first thing
noticeable is whether
or not there is disarray.
If the feeling is “out of
order” the feeling is transferred
to the viewer.
