I made another small dent in righting the mess in the apartment - the good news, is that with a few more of these little steps (and vigilance on maintaining the current order), I should have my 'Spring cleaning' finished by Labor Day weekend. At least, that's what I'm shooting for. 

If accomplished, that will only make this year's Spring cleaning finished only two years and three months late.

So, I lived in a mess (now, not so much) as I have for most of my life. No harm, as far as I know.

I guess the question now is, what will the benefit be?

Time will tell.

A tidy apartment, like home ownership, making your bed, and 'hard work', supposedly conveys benefits, but I can't remember ever enjoying any.

I did find my passport at the very beginning of the cleaning, but it was only a matter of time before that happened, it is expired, so the only benefit of finding it is that I don't have to fill out a lost passport form when I go to renew. If I had stopped at that point, my apartment would be every bit as messy as if I hadn't started (I was just moving papers from one pile to another). Still...

My expectations are so low. Including, for me.
