I do and I don't agree.
The lads I'm with impressively cleans vans, but they spend more time tidying than working. In 12hr day I might have driven 4hrs total but worked 8hrs straight forgetting lunch.
Everything gets launched in sod spending about 30mins sorting out.
But equally I hate mess and chaos but I'm damn good at creating it!
I think my issue in my workshop is lack of storage options soon to be fixed.

You've hit the nail on the head.
A Place for Everything, and Everything in it's Place. Makes for a tidy place.
Regardless of the ocupation

Minimalist living, they call it.
I'm minimalist too. I like the "just been burgled" look. Each to their own. I get stressed if I can't find stuff. I like to just crack on and not waste time looking for stuff.
People who know me well suggest I'm on the spectrum, but I'm comfortable with that!

Stresses me outI cant stand a 'busy' house, ours is clutter free, it looks like someone has nicked everything bar the TV and sofa .
If I lived in my workshop, it would be spotless. (Best not mention that to the wife, she might take me up on the offer)
Me and Mrs are both bad for it but we come home have dinner sort the dogs out then bed.
Definitely got worse as she's become more senior, I'm commited to have more time at home. My ideal house is with nothing much inside.
Except the office which is essentially a clean work space

The part in bold is the main point.
I personally find the minimalist thing truly uncomfortable. I could go & sit in a hospital theatre & feel such "homeliness". It's like merely somewhere to exist, in my book.

Wait until he gives up clothing......Ugh
The training school where I served my time, as a Fitter in the early 80's, at ICI Wilton, had an end grain wooden floor. It was huge..

It's all part of the 6 sigma rigmarole - It all works brilliantly until management get hold of it! 5S ALWAYS fails on the 5th element - Sustain, because you're never given any time to maintain it. It's a mindset, NOT a one-off exercise - We don't do it right unless it's a Japanese company in the UK
