Habits die hard

I am a practical man. It means I will usually do the things most convenient to me. When I was still a bachelor, my table would be full of books because I put whatever I had read on it and when I needed space to do some serious work only would I shift them back to my bookshelves.

Things that I often needed would be around me. Hence my room looked messy.

When I got married, my wife would be tidying up the things which I put wherever I liked.

Even now, I often find it hard to locate my things because I forget where I put them. If I had been more organised, things would have been when they should.

Mine is a case of "habits die hard".
