Being generally neat, I would say, is an extremely positive attitude and can be quite beneficial too. By keeping your stuff neat, you would know where to look for them when the time comes, instead of ransacking through every drawer and cabinet there is. Or pop the "have you seen" question everyone around you. Or worst of all, request for everyone's assistance to locate the item. No good, no good.
See how you can really save a truck load of time by being neat? Not only that, based on my personal opinion, being neat would somehow give an impression that the person is clean, arranged, punctual, calm and so on.
Hence, your partner/spouse would definitely like that little neat personality in you, so will your family members or parents or relatives, friends as well as colleagues or even, you would not know it, your boss. That is as almost as good as securing your performance bonus for the year.
Whilst being neat is good, being extremely neat would be an "illness" rather than a personality. At times, dealing with such a person would really put your patience to the test, bordering between slightly annoying and irritating. Some examples would be as follow, based on real life encounters:
Scenario 1.
Halfway through reading a book, you decide to head down to get a cup of water. You place the book on the table. You head up with a cup of water to find the book gone. Suspecting it has been kept at the usual spot, you begin searching there. Bingo! The neat freak has struck on its unsuspecting victim once again.
Scenario 2.
You have a piece of receipt from books purchase, hence, deductible from taxation. With the books and receipt still in the carrier, you place everything into the drawer. Much later, upon opening the drawer, the carrier is gone, the books neatly arranged to one side. You inquire the whereabouts of the receipt to no avail, most probably already thrown. The neat freak has struck on its unsuspecting victim once again.
Scenario 3.
Envelopes, bills, receipts, documents, certificates and such cleared from the table and kept without the knowledge of the owner. Upon inquiry, the one who cleared them had no idea or usually forgot where it has been kept. Spent the next half and hour searching for the piece of paper, sigh. The neat freak has struck on its unsuspecting victim once again.
And many, many more scenarios but too lazy (and even too dangerous) to blog them out. Therefore, based solely on my experience and opinion, it can be concluded that while being neat is a good thing, being too neat is definitely a killer. So, are you a neat or a neat freak?
