We are horribly messy. I think it is mostly me, though. I have even moved out of places because it would have been easier than cleaning. Or rather, I didn't recognize that I didn't hate the place, I just needed to clean up. I am feeling better so I will be starting my cleaning campaign to clean up the dirt of the last three years. In the past I would get all OCD about it too and spend 6 hours cleaning one room. I like the timer idea.
