What’s the point if I’m going to muss it all up in 12 hours again anyway? What’s the point of hanging up my clothes if they’re going to come off the hanger in two days? What’s the point of cleaning up? What’s the point? etc.

Point: it’s hella easier to find things when the room is neat. I discovered that I can see all my clothes at a glance and know what I can wear fairly quickly (I got it down to under 30 seconds now, and after the recent purge, I’ve begun to plan my outfits ahead of time).

Point deux: I feel a lot calmer when there isn’t crap all over the place. I never knew how much it bothered me until I cleaned up more, and now that I understand what that serene feeling is, I’m much better at replicating it.

I never thought I’d enjoy making beds, but this habit-goal has been the easiest by far.
