Proud of being messy

Research suggests that working in a messy or cluttered environment can enhance creativity and stimulate new ideas, as opposed to neat surroundings which often promote conventionality. A University of Minnesota study found that people in disorganized spaces produced about 28% more creative ideas, with five times as many "highly creative" responses compared to those in tidy rooms.

Real-World Examples: Many famously creative individuals, such as Albert Einstein, Mark Twain, and Steve Jobs, were known for having notoriously cluttered, chaotic, or messy workspaces.

Neat people often maintain tidy spaces not just through intense cleaning sessions, but by adopting specific mindsets and habits that integrate organization into their daily lives. 

Psychologically, these habits can be driven by a desire for order, efficiency, or as a way to reduce stress by controlling their environment. While some people may have a "neat freak" habit, it is different from OCD, which is a clinical disorder characterized by uncontrollable, anxiety-driven rituals.
