The first words I can remember sticking with me from my Momma Jaime’s mouth was that cleanliness is close to Godliness. Noticeably, this must mean that Momma Jaime is hand and hand with God himself. Neat people should be viewed more superior than sloppy people; because, neat people are much more strategized, systematized, and Prepared for anything to come their way.
Any neat person knows that the easiest way to stay strategized in your life is a calendar.
A quick way to know if anyone is a neat person is to check for an itinerary, journal, planner or calendar. It won’t be too hard to find typically they will pull it out every time they hear something important, or need to write a quick note for later when they inscribe their whole next day before bed. In addition to that, they precisely go over their whole day while falling asleep to make sure everything is perfectly set for the next day. Every day in a neat person’s life they have a firm plan that they stick to from when they wake up in the morning to when they fall asleep at night. Unlike neat people, sloppy people tend to ‘flow with the day’ as Mrs. Susanne Britt says in The Morton Mix, “Sloppy people live in Never-Never Land.” This means sloppy people tend to run late and not know what short-term goals they are supposed to be conquering for the day. They wake up and fall asleep differently everyday an example of this is how they might shower in the morning instead of at night because they are ‘too tired’ from running around all day wondering what they are supposed to be doing. Conversely, while the sloppy person is throwing clean and unfolded clothes on the ground to fall asleep on their bed the neat person is showered in bed and maybe eating a non-crumbly snack before nine p.m.
When it comes to systems neat people hit it out of the park every time. Work, at work everything on a neat person’s desk is methodically placed and in each drawer, there are tabs and folders placed in ABC order. Moreover, every paper is placed by importance, date, and header. Continuing with how they have every project in on time and sometimes ahead of time. Whereas the neat person is arriving to work 10 minutes late because they couldn’t find their eft shoe and who knows if
OCD: In layman's terms, this is someone who is very neat and clean; however a clinical diagnosis of this disorder is made "when obsessions or compulsions feel excessive or unreasonable, cause great distress, take up much time, and interfere with daily functions." (Comer, 2015)
We are all very busy with work and school so sometimes we forget what needs to be done in time, so the daily planner is a very useful tool that helps you remember important events. Every day I update something new on my planner that would keep me updated for the upcoming week or month. For example, when it comes to my studies I have a special section for it and I always put a writing “study an hour in am and pm for English” to look over the materials on the given chapter. It is a great way not to fall behind on your studies and you are much better prepared when it comes on taking the chapter exam. When it comes to work I put the days and hours that I work a head of time so I can be able to figure out the time I have left to spend with my family and time for studying. As I mention before, family time is very important to me so I mostly put on my planer simple family stuff such us having dinner in a certain time, days of going out, or doing different chores, enrolling my son into daily or weekly activities, shopping, or family trips.
In Britt’s essay, “Neat People vs. Sloppy People”, Suzanne Britt criticizes neat people in a humorous way for certain behaviors. Britt creates a humorous tone and a good impression for sloppy people. This excerpt appears in a book “Show and Tell” Britt writes “It is her journey into the awful cave of self” (214). At first, I was offended by Britt’s essay, but after I realized Britt was using humor, I was able to look at my sister and her sloppiness differently.
One example of this quality is when Britt gives us an example of a messy desk. She states in her essay that, “A neat person would just bulldoze the desk.” (234) So instead of going through the piles of stuff to see if anything might be important, neat people find it easier to just throw everything away. Another example of this quality is when Britt states, “I knew a person once who threw away a perfectly good dish drainer because it had mold on it.” (234-235) So it was easier for that neat person to just throw the drainer away and buy a new one, than it was to wash the mold off. One last instance Britt uses this technique was when she says, “And neat people sell their furniture when they move.” (235) Instead of just packing it up and moving it, they find it more convenient to sell their old furniture and buy new ones.
The title of “Neat people vs. Sloppy People” in relation to the whole essay representing the main message of the article discussing the similarity and differences from these topics. In this case, the title was effective, showcasing the idea the essay was talking about. Therefore, the implication of the text was effective since it reflected the title.
now had to live with a roommate. Kristina reports that her roommate is not messy, but is just not as clean as Kristina would like. Kristina states that she vacuums their floor and wipes all of the furniture (including her roommate’s desk) with disinfectant spray once day. The whole process takes her about 2 hours. She also puts a special cover on her bed so that the germs won’t get in it.
“The sloppy person is not lazy, they just like to procrastinate.” See, that’s just it sloppy people always make excuses so, they never have to get over their lazy personality. Sloppy people are lazy and meaner than neat people. Sloppy people should be focusing on how neat people are cleaner and happier; because positivity, organization, and happiness are the keys to a neat person’s life.
I think planning a day to day schedule of the things you have to do is very
Not to her surprise she learned I could not live with anything being off, bent, the wrong size, not color coordinated. I was OCD and I still am, and will always be, owheel. Being OCD makes satisfaction next to impossible. However, when I am pleased with my accomplishments they are nothing less outstanding than a view atop a mountain, and it’s always smooth sailing from there, or at least until I find another room in need of a cleaning. My bedroom always seems to be in that category, whether it be because the scarfs got out of the designated order, of my tanktops did not get placed in the right drawer, there always appears to be something, not quite in the right spot. However, I continue the think its worth. In part because of the praise I receive, like any normal mother, my mom, finds my obsession unhealthy, probably why it's a disorder, never the less, her draw dropping and admiration for my measured out necklace hooks, when she walks into my room keeps me motivated. Plus, in the early hours of the morning, such a nine thirty, I am occanaily challenged to get ready in a short 45 minutes. However thanks to my organization, I know exactly where all wardrobe pieces and accorisory are. If I feeling in a nazy kinda mood I know, my nazy pattern shorts are in the left top drawer of me drewer, the complementary tank top is hanging up
The act of being habitually and carefully neat and clean can make for an interesting topic in a comparison and contrast essay. Dave Barry compares the differences of how women and men clean in his compare and contrast essay, Batting Clean- Up and Striking out. In Suzanne Britt's compare and contrast essay, Neat People vs. Sloppy People she compares the differences of personalities between Sloppy people and neat people. Both essays compare cleanliness in one way or another however they both have differences regarding their use of humor, examples, and points made in their thesis.
All of our lives, we've been told to stay organized. Organization has always been linked to success and less stress. Whether at home or at school organization is something that has been taught to almost everyone since we were born. So which is better? A clean room or a messy room. Some would say that a clean room is better than a messy room. I disagree with that statement. While a clean room does have it's advantages a messy room helps you flourish in mind and soul. Sure, the state of your room may represent how your mind works but disorderliness isn't always bad. There are 2 types of messy: cluttered or just dirty. While clutter shows personality and possibly creativity, a dirty room is very negative and is not helpful in any way. Disorderly rooms looks bad to the people who don't own them but the people who made it that way feel at home when in their room. Consider this from Albert Einstein, “If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, then what are we to think of an empty desk?” He looked unkempt and was reportedly messy in his personal life, but was certainly a creative genius. Einstein wasn't alone. Mark Twain, too, had a cluttered desk. Perhaps even more cluttered than that of Albert Einstein. Mark Twain was one of the most imaginative minds of his generation.One university got a bunch of students to sleep in specific rooms half messy and half clean. After a few days in the dorms the research conductors asked the students to give ideas on how to decorate a ping
Paper-based calendar and also paper-based wall planner is designed for particular period such as one year. It is organized in a particular pattern such as square box for each date and also we can design according to us. Some people write their reminders on paper and mark particular dates by using pen or pencil and also they can overwrite it.
Part of my identity is that I always have to have my things nicely organized and when my things aren’t organized it bothers me. I find that when I’m not organized I misplace everything and I have a terrible memory so it’s difficult for me to recall where I left whatever I misplaced. In order to avoid this, I keep myself as organized as possible. Being organized is a bit hard when it comes to sharing a room with Jenna, who is NOT organized at all.
Multitasking is becoming very significant on the workplace to complete the task in less time. In fact, some people believe that multitasking saves time and can be done at all together. On the other hand, some people think that it is a distracting activity which leads to a lack of concentration. According to David Silverman, “In Defense of Multitasking”, multitasking is “crucial to survival in today’s workplace” (522). However, I do not agree because multitasking reduces productivity, increases stress levels and it is, especially, problematic for students.
In the discipline of personality psychology, it is crucial for researchers to conduct studies using universal terms and scales, so that they may effectively compare results and further their line of research. However, when it concerns personality traits, such a comprehensive catalogue has not always been available – in fact, it has taken until up until the late 20th century to develop a list of essential personality traits and create scales that measure these dimensions reliably (John, Naumann, & Soto, 2008). The current set of these widely used traits is called the “Big Five” personality traits, and encompasses five broad dimensions - Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, and Openness. Of the five, this paper will focus on Conscientiousness, a trait that describes individuals with impulse control who are highly organized, thorough, planful, efficient, responsible, reliable, and dependable, to name just a handful of characteristics associated with the trait (John, Naumann, & Soto, 2008). Those low in the trait, on the other hand, are more frequently careless and irresponsible (McShane & Steen, 2012). Although studies have shown Conscientiousness to be a predictor of various life outcomes such as health and longevity, this paper will focus on the findings that support Conscientiousness as a predictor of job performance and, when one is high in the trait, success in
