Orderliness is “keeping things clean and neat.”
Orderliness is not a natural tendency or event. Even the second law of thermodynamics states that without intervention, all things move toward greater entropy and disorder. You can see this every day as your desk, purse, book bag, bedroom, closet, and vehicle become less organized and more dirty without someone making an effort to keep them clean and neat.
The key to an orderly lifestyle is making it a habit—putting things away and keeping things clean one day at a time.
