Well that was a waste of time....

I've taken some time off for the London Film Festival, but my first film isn't actually until tomorrow.

So today I decided to tidy up my ever-growing collection of guitar parts.....  :|

Eight hours later, all I've succeeded in doing is moving things from one box to another and it all looks even more untidy than it was before I started (in fact there now seems to be less space than there was this morning).

And my back hurts.



Sorry, really boring I know.  Just needed to vent.  :(

yeah, i recently resolved to sort out my house and make it presentable.  all i've succeeded in doing is leaving it that you virtually require mountaineering equipment to move around!

Was going to reply but...  :?  :o :(

Just send me all these useless parts, you'll get a lot more neat and tidy  available space  :mrgreen:

I didn't do the same stupid thing, I thought I was actually attempting to improve things a bit.....

What am I supposed to do, just bin it?

gets worse before it gets better.. i have found this effect with most tidying/spring cleaning efforts. especially DVD's

I keep meaning to try to sort out my DVDs and get rid of the ones I've replaced with Blu-ray, or just don't want anymore..... but I know it'll be a disaster.

And then there are the CDs where I've got old editions, then remasters, then boxed sets....  :roll:

Maybe I should get the guitar stuff sorted out first.....

yeah it's kind of a vicious circle like that... i don't tidy because i know how much work it's going to be. which means i go without tidying for longer. which means more work when i finally do get round to tidying. repeat ad infinitum. :lol:

The logical solution must be..... never tidy!

[dave_mc]

that's what i always say. yet people look at me like i'm crazy!

[Philly Q]

Even if you look at the more basic aspects of cleaning and tidying - like dusting or hoovering - they take just as long if you do them every week as they do if you leave it to accumulate for a few weeks.  Or months. 

That's not even taking into account the cumulative total time wasted through frequent tidying.

And at least if you've left it for a while you notice the difference!

[dave_mc]

yeah :lol:
