Comments on: Obsessive but not compulsive http://blogs.n1zyy.com/mistert/2008/04/21/obsessive-but-not-compulsive/ Random thoughts, half thoughts, and just plain stuff I want to blog about Wed, 07 Jan 2009 02:26:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Matt http://blogs.n1zyy.com/mistert/2008/04/21/obsessive-but-not-compulsive/#comment-346 Matt Mon, 21 Apr 2008 16:36:13 +0000 http://blogs.n1zyy.com/mistert/2008/04/21/obsessive-but-not-compulsive/#comment-346 <i>I am somewhat obsessive in that I really like things neat, organized, clean and very “ship shape.” But unfortunately I’m not compulsive about getting things that way.</i> That's me to a T. Every once in a great while, I "snap" and clean. But what I'm always surprised is how quick and easy it was... I get to the point where I keep putting it off because it'll take too long. And then I finally do it, and 20 minutes later it's done. (Of course I have a dorm room with not a lot of stuff, not a home office.) A side benefit is that, if you wait until you're frankly <i>angry</i> about the mess, you're much more willing to throw stuff away.
