How tidy or messy is your living space, and does it actually bother you?

B Natural answer

I would say my living space is fairly tidy, but not spotless. I try to keep things in order because it makes it easier to find what I need. Still, there are always a few piles of papers on my table, especially when I am busy. That part does not really bother me unless the mess starts spreading to the floor or the kitchen. I usually spend ten minutes cleaning up at night, and that keeps everything under control. If the place gets too messy, I feel distracted, so a little routine helps a lot.
