Cluttered Spaces and My Sanity.
When I read through the prompt, a series of events were already playing through my mind. I was already envisioning myself organising a few things just to create more space but then, I read the last line and that line is definitely a game changer.

I must admit that the addition of the $20 price tag makes the offer more tempting. I mean, who wouldn't want to get a few dollars each day by just staying in a totally disorganised room? Definitely not me. If I'm speaking from a really honest perspective, $20 would be too minial in comparison to the discomfort a minimalist would face.
For me, a clutter-packed home goes beyond physical. It has a way of toying with the psychological. I do not know if it's only me that feels this way but whenever things aren't in the right place, I get really disturbed. The urge to place them in the right place keeps reoccurring even when I walk away from that spot. One minute, I find myself trying to walk away and the next second I am organising the mess. At that moment, the mess would probably be like " look who came running back".
It's amusing how this prompt actually played out some time ago in my life but the only difference in my case was the fact that I wasn't being paid to stay in the clutter-packed room. It was an experiment I decided to carry out and the result was served on a platter of gold:)
For some reasons that I still don't know, I decided to fight the minimalistic urges that usually accompanied clutter-packed spaces. I told myself that I would be staying in a clutter-packed room for three days and I did. But on the second day, I got ill. The symptoms weren't physical but I knew that something was off with my being. Because this feeling was mild, I just shrugged it off. On the third day, it came in full swing. I knew very well that the illness had a lot to do with the discomfort I was currently facing. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me that.
Amidst the uneasy feeling, I decided to declutter. The organising process took about two hours and after that it felt like a burden had been lifted off my shoulders. There was more breathing space.
This was the proof that I so yearned for . That little incident proved that minimalism had become more than just an option , it was now a lifestyle.
If I didn't have to pick them I would have turned down the offer to live in a clutter-packed room in a heartbeat but If It was really pertinent that I took up this offer then I would stay for just a day. Looking at it from the good side, after that day, I would be $20 dollars richer, yay! That is if I don't feel too uneasy and need to spend the money on chocolate cake in a bid to ease the discomfort.

Clutter sometimes is good...
Chaotic arrangements ✨
That would make your mind chaotic too yunno
I wouldn't even make it up to a day 🤦
You would probably loose your mind at the end of the day right?
Exactly.
I think a lot of us are like this. I will be feeling it to my bones, like something is wrong until I organize whatever needed to be organized and only then my mind will feel at ease.
I think spending that 20$ on chocolate will make perfect sense considering what you just survive !lol
you totally get the angle I'm coming from😅. It would be like a prize for surviving.
Thank you so much funshee

You are welcome sis, have a beautiful week ahead.
I do get irritated easily when I'm in a clutter space, and would prefer to forego the $20 and maintain my sanity.
Some valid points here:)
In the end, our sanity and comfort matter a whole lot:)))

You're right @wongi, it just doesn't mean about physical clutter because me, I will have a hot head seeing the dishes cluttering in the sink.
Exactly. I feel this way sometimes too
I think I a minimalist should not accept the offer or if accept then, it will be for one days. I am also start to think what I would do if somebody give me such kind of offer😅..
How many days would you be able to cope for?
I think I won't be able to pass two days there 😅.
Exactly 😂
