Mess levels vary between :
"it trips mom's ocd but seems ordered to me"
"it's the level of mess perfectly normal for me"
"it makes me waste a little more effort getting things done / finding something"
"it makes me waste a WHOLE LOT of effort getting things done / finding something"
"it makes me UNABLE to get things done / find something"

I have oversimplified it, cause here are also intwined what mom says about it, what girlfriend says about it, what extra unaccounted for havoc can little brother and sister & their friends they bring into the house & the cats & ... add to the potion, and "things done" could be divided into "the few important things i keep in better shape" vs "everything else"

In the end of the day, your goal is not ORDER, but ENERGY EFFICIENCY

You have to find the level of mess, which, along with the amount of ORDER work required to maintain it (keep the mess from getting progressively worse), TOGETHER require the least effort investment (energy, time, ...) from you on average -

 - Leaving you with the most resources (energy, time, ...) available to do OTHER more important things in your life, than navigating or ordering the mess in your room -

 - And preferrably doesn't result in cringe reactions from girlfriend, mom, or increased risk of smashed tubes by accidents (which may or may not involve girlfriend, mom, brother, sister, their friends, or cats).

Which may be very different levels of mess for everyone

Besides, "on average" is also very different for everyone - For somebody it may be constant level constantly maintained, and for somebody cycles of "mess level going up" and "sorting it out.... till next time"

I'm very neat, in my room you can't see any of my collection since its all in storage, the only place where I actually store things out is in my little crafting space but my parents don't really care about it. Since I like a clean room, I store a Metalux wraparound with like a dozen F40s in the cover underneath my bed, and 5 F40 fixtures underneath my couch with one of them holding another dozen F40s. I had to give the case that my F34s came in to a friend since it was too big for my room, but other than that I have been able to find space for everything (though I am starting to run low.) I think my last big fixture for awhile if I can get it would be some sort of 4x2 troffer!

Almost had an EOL occur with one of my cheapo HID headlights in The Genesis yesterday. My right headlight kept failing to strike an arc.
Bright flashes from the ignitor, but no light. Later on I tried again, yielding the same result at first, but the second try was successful,
although it gave off a very bright/ flickering purple flash at first... then began flickering madly during warm up time. The lamp flickered
and randomly became a bit too bright... but then it calmed down as time went on, and hasn't had an issue ever since. Not sure what that was about.
This event occurred last night, but I was unable to post about it since I was busy with work. Even though this happened yesterday, and even though
this wasn't an official EOL, I'll count it. Same goes for you guys... if your lamp *almost* went EOL, it counts here... talk about it.
