Get The Stuff Off The Floor ( GTS-[TF]-OTF ) ( Rule/Guideline )


I don't know what it is about stuff being on the floor - but somehow, there is some feeling of wrongness about it.

We might think about some Feng Shui / energy factors, or there's just plain old getting things dirty, dusty, obstructing floor space, having to bend for it.. or all of the above.

Anyhow, I have a strong preference, really a rule, an imperative I give to myself - Get The Stuff Off The Floor - or a stronger, more motivating variant, Get The Stuff The F%%% Off The Floor.

Whatever it takes - I'd box it, put it on a pad of wood, plywood, cardboard or whatever - if only symbolically, for a start - but get it off the f---ing floor.

Preferably, this is the most recommended scenario, this is what I do - put stacks on wheeled platforms, so whatever obstruction it might be causing is, at worst, temporary, and rearrangement is easy.

That's it, no long moralizing story here.

I'd try it, and see how it feels.
