11/06/2014 Unpacking - the art of being tidy - we are all different.

I am in the middle of the grotty job of unpacking bags from my 2 week trek. On to washing, folding and restowing for next time! Over the years I have recognised this sort of exercise is not a strong point of mine (and it has more to it than just the assumed ability to be lazy or procrastinate.) We have all worked with people whose desk is always tidy and ordered - there are others whose desk never looks ordered even after it has been tidied. Some people are clumsy some people are not.We can strive to improve, we can learn to improve.We should no doubt. However my contention is these things are fundamentally in our nature. There is no right or wrong way. It throws up interesting and potentially challenging issues regarding relationship compatibility. One tidy - one not, can offer plenty to laugh at - it doesn't have to matter - but it can be exasperating - a source of friction - so those starting out be aware is my advice. Maybe go camping first before you choose to live together - ha!
