Cleaning Games
While I’m fairly neutral about cleaning in the real world (love a clean space yet would rather read than clean), I have realized that I love cleaning games. Someone recently passed along a link to a game where the whole point is to shelve imaginary books. You are cleaning up a library. And I thought, wow – this sounds fantastic.
It is like the game 2025, which involved organizing items into lists. Cleaning up a screen? Heavenly!
I’m not sure what this says about me — that I am deeply interested in cleaning games while less interested in actual cleaning that will make my living space better.

This is so appealing hahaha. The graphics look great and I love to organize.
DC2 seems to have taken after me and has been having fun rearranging her bookshelves. She has her in-room bookcase now separated into three sections: 1. Fiction books being kept for nostalgia, 2. Fiction books she feels like rereading on a regular basis, 3. Non-fiction. Her hall bookcase could still use some work, but it’s now just manga and comic books and a very small number of grown-up Spanish books (kid Spanish books are now boxed up).
I don’t like dust, but I do like alphabetizing IRL. I did give up when the children were little with the little kid’s books because they were misshelved too too frequently for me to keep up with, but I do get some joy out of organizing from scratch the first time or when we have to redo something.
At some point we’re going to have to redo the living room bookshelves because all the little kids’ books will be finally leaving the house.
My spice rack is also an alphabetized thing of beauty.
My kid enjoyed organizing bins at stores when we would go shopping. Now, her room at home is a mess but her dorm room is highly organized.
My husband was right – he used to say if he wasn’t here, the clutter would be out of control. (It’s not out of control – I could clean it all up in under half an hour. I just never feel like it. So it’s a bit messy. That’s OK – if I have guests, everything gets cleaned up and put away.
