Unexplainable habits that say I was there a minute ago…
As you grow, your habits become your reflections. Now you don’t need any explanations to support your actions and that confidence comes with age. I can count a few of my habits to be proud of and some to be amused by, where I ask myself, why do I carry such unexplainable habits along with me?
You can spot me in a room by my habits that reflect my personality.
Clean and sorted work desk
I have to dust off all the dirt on my work desk and keep the books/copies neatly back on the shelf before I start working. A cluttered desk means a cluttered mind and I will lose concentration. After I am done, I put my things back to their original places so that I get a clean space for the next time.
So, if you spot my table extremely clean, even during those short breaks, then it’s me working there, not my daughter!
Wrinkle-free bedsheets and blanket back into the closet
As soon as I wake up, I fold my blanket and put it back in the closet. Next, I want to see my bedsheet done and free of any wrinkles. I can’t sit or lie down on a messy bed. That’s the reason I don’t eat in bed. I couldn’t imagine having any food particles on my bed sheet. Ewww.
Yes, that’s me if you see my neatly done bed with no wrinkled blanket around.
Stack of clothes inside the almirah
Laundry is a significant task in my home, and clothes seem to circulate all day and night. However, when they reach my room, I need to put them away as quickly as possible. I’m the only one who can do this! If I tackle it at night before going to bed, it only takes me about 10 minutes. But if I leave them for the next morning, it irritates me to no end.
Therefore, I must complete this task as soon as possible to remain sane. So, yes. You will see my table and chair free of any hanging clothes.
Dry bathroom with a different fragrance every new day
I get up early and take a bath first because I like dry bathrooms. I swipe it immediately for others to find it dry and spray perfume after every visit. I enjoy using different fragrances, which causes my perfumes to run out quickly like air fresheners.
Clean the kitchen counter before I eat my meal
If the kitchen counter is cleaned and the food is still to be cooked properly, that’s me. I will do a final cleaning also but too much mess around restricts my actions and I end up delaying cooking.
These and many more signs are a part of my personality that will give you a hint that I have been there.
Do you have a weird habit that reflects you?
