I have observed that keeping my workplaces organized has a clear effect on my desire to work. Likewise, finding my personal spaces in neat shape lifts my moods.
I assess that the total amount of new papers or stuff we receive or process on any given day rarely requires more than a few minutes of sorting and placement. Should we organize them before leaving for the day, we get to enter an inspiring workplace the next morning. Else, we create a back log, which we naturally try to ignore and let pile on.
The story is much different at home. Here I find that maintenance is far more difficult than messing things up. Only a few of us may have the luxury of a dedicated housekeeper. And thus I find the sights of messy bedrooms and quake-hit dorm rooms in quite understandable.
Even so, I think there exist some compromise solutions. We can club room organization with other activities, such as watching TV or talking on the phone. Major overhauls can be put for weekends.
My personal experience dictates that it is more than worth the effort to keep our surrounding environment in good order - makes work more enjoyable and increases our happiness index. I suggest giving it a try.
