Cleanliness and Tasks

I was told that there are two types of creative people – those who are really clean and those that aren’t. I fall into the category under those that aren’t. At work, I’m clean, and I make sure to keep the common rooms and bathrooms of my house clean, but my own room and car are very messy. 

Part of it is just time. I dedicate a good amount of my time to writing-related things when I’m not at my job like writing, editing, or working on Chris’s Storytelling Corner. It doesn’t have to be clean around me in order for me to do those things, and I know that others have to have a clean workspace in order to complete their tasks.

The other part is also just being a bachelor as well. In my view, the only one affected by this lack of cleanliness is me. If I were with someone, then that would change the dynamic. I’m cognizant though that it’s just good in general to keep things clean, and I’ll attempt to allocate time just for cleaning.
