[[Stephanie Booth]] on keeping things tidier around the house. from the perspective of seeing space as something that serves me. Reframes cleaning not as reactive but as pro-active in aiding my future self. I once, mid 90s, wrote a column on cleaning/decluttering as a personal battle against entropy, reducing entropy and thus postpone the heat death of the universe. Heck, the very def of life is decreasing entropy around itself, as per James Lovelock in Novacene (2019).

Idea that the personal space between a significant other versus a professor or colleague varies. Personal space also varies depending on the social situation, private versus public.
