Nice and Tidy

Keeping your home, office or desk tidy is essential for some people, whereas others don’t think it is very important. Those people that are tidy often take pride in keeping things organised and in their place, and most people would agree that being tidy is a good thing.
Having said that, people’s definition of tidy is often different, and those who may consider a desk tidy others would consider it very untidy. Whatever your definition of tidy is, it is hard to argue that there are no benefits to being tidy.
