I personally, perhaps surprisingly, don’t like mess. This is partly because I am a messy person by nature, and therefore overreact to messiness in other people, but also because, as an idler, mess ends up stealing time from you. One lets things descend into chaos because one can’t be bothered to clean up, but then wastes hours trying to find socks or the right knife because everything is everywhere. Paradoxically, to be truly idle, you also have to be efficient.
