My Turn: Neatniks just can't let things be
The desire for orderliness isn't learned at all. It is inborn. And, believe me, it's not all that great to be born with it. I know. I'm a "neatnik." I can't help myself. We're not exactly perfectionists. We just can't stand to see a place mat askew, a collar c...

| Abstract | The desire for orderliness isn't learned at all. It is inborn. And, believe me, it's not all that great to be born with it. I know. I'm a "neatnik." I can't help myself. We're not exactly perfectionists. We just can't stand to see a place mat askew, a collar crooked, a shirt half untucked, or a newspaper scattered all over the coffee table. The temptation to tidy up is enough to make us salivate - to control the urge often brings on a fit of nerves. It's like an itch that you can't scratch. It's good, I'm told, to be so organized. I like that I have a plan for the dinner menu next Tuesday. But I've learned to be flexible, too. Nothing is ever written in stone (even my daily lists). But if I do go overboard, I know one thing's for sure - I will keep my padded cell perfectly neat! |
