I have a strange obsession with organizing, categorizing, and making sure that all is in line. Unfortunately, while I direct my attention to creating order and harmony in another realm, the previous one falls into disarray by the hands of entropy and a million careless decisions. At the moment, for example, my room is a complete mess while my digital space is neat and orderly.
I find that, when the space around me is chaotic, I am prone to being distracted or subtly upset. By contrast, when things are in place, I am more focused, energetic, and completely at peace with the world. Games like Minecraft, Stardew Valley, and Starbound can be extremely therapeutic for me at times because I get the chance to explore, collect, organize, and admire the results. Fortunately, I can repeat this process both in games and in life; though it may take different forms, it produces the same intrinsic satisfaction. Now to clean the room.
