Pensive-land.....
The Ti dominant is a judging function that likes to categorize and organize, even if mostly only thoughts. Yet it can definitely create behavior that is outside of the "complete disorganized mess" stereotype. What I find in me is that it creates some order in chaos. Examples:
a)my room is a bit of a tip, but my clothes tend to accumulate in a corner on the floor till I wash them.
b)when I have a big project to do (this is the big unusual one) I break it into tiny chunks that I work on each day. I avoid procrastinating it because I know it will get much more boring and take longer, and because the amounts I split it into are very small I don't mind doing them. Past doing some work each day, there is little order though (time/exact amount/etc.)
c)I don't leave files on my (windows) desktop. Instead, I have about 10 folders which I put stuff in (and which have no further organization), leaving it nice and clean. Stuff takes about as long to find as it would on the desktop though because of the disorganization of the folders.

Any of you guys got similar habits/experiences?

To the uniformed, I look completely disorganised. I don't have a filing system, I just remember where I leave things. This system completely collapses if someone moves something...

I plan to get organised once I actually control my room. Now it's pretty random, I can find everything until as Hawkeye mentioned, someone gets an itch to move or take stuff without returning.

There is a level of disorder after which I spend a good 2-3 hours sorting and cleaning my room. Things that are organised are files and stuff on my hard drives. It just makes sense and is useful to save my time. I clean my room often, but putting things on right places is just pointless in my experience. Having an organised room won't save my time when everything would be where it should be, it already is, this mess is my domain and it just looks random.
