People can dress up the front room, but the nightstand knows whether your life is organized or just performing for company. And I am not judging. My own digital nightstand is worse. I have files called final, final two, real final use this final Henry, please use this one. And then a folder named old that contains my future. That is why cleaning comedy works for me.
