That's another thing, and I think I myself might struggle with it. I'm REALLY into computers, computer design, video editing, tricks with computer scripts and codes, etc, etc. I LOVEEEE to read, and I write alot. Anything that is MENTALLY stimulating.
But I'm not the neatest person in the world. I'm more of a brainiac, I never was able to focus on "just keeping the place clean", which is why I was never a stay-at-home mom-- or a mom at all! When I was active, my VT's house was always totally spotless. She was a stay at home mom, who made everything from scratch, and was jus totally preocupied with "wify, mommy" stuff. And VERY happy to be so. She used to throw "sublte suggestions" at me to be more of the "clean the home" type.
I would just look at her and laugh, like, "Hey, I know how to clean, and I'm a good cook... I learned it as a teenager, and then I had it down pat from there. But now I do it out of need ONLY. As a hobby or a career-- it holds my interest about as much as watching paint dry." lol.
Sure, my house is reasonable. But its like a cycle-- half the week it will be clean, half the week it will be cluttered.
Although I NEVER have messes on the floor, noooooo SIR! I have major issues against that. 99% of my messes are on table or counter tops--- but the floor is totally clear, lol. I guess I just never put anything on the floor. I guess I figure it does make ieasier to clean when you can do all your cleaning standing up, instead of crawling around on the floor :)
