I'm too busy to be neat. Neatness takes time. My mother disagrees with me. She says neatness takes less time than messiness, but she's wrong. Over the years I've grown extremely efficient at being messy to the point where it requires almost no time at all. I've become so accustomed to disorganization that when I finally find the time to get "organized" I become disoriented and am unable to find anything. Now I'm not saying that everyone should abandon the idea of neatness. I'm not even saying that I'm about to give up on the ideal of being neat. I'm just saying that for me, I'm most efficient when I'm messy.
