Yesterday I posted a picture of our common dumping ground. Years ago I would have thought that a organized house should always be clean. The trip from a commoner to a minimalist made me realize that there is a difference between organized and clean. Our dumping ground is for example only for cleaning, washing and fixing things. It's really organized but disgusting in my own opinion.
Personally, I find that the spot is a constant reminder of what it shouldn't be and that it's okay to have a little bit of clutter. As long it doesn't take too much time to scrub things clean. If the whole house is organized, clean and decluttered except for that one spot, it's not that bad.
Having a little playground gives me air to breath. It's not just a reminder it also motivates me to clean other places up. After organizing the dumping ground I immediately threw the recycle plastic away. I also made sure that there was another hook mounted in the kitchen. Because of those ugly things I am capable to activate myself to actually do something.
It's strange but a little bit of disgusting organized spot is a constant reminder/motivation.
