Ever since I was a teenager, I’ve been afraid of «peaking.» The idea of reaching a point where you feel like «everything’s downhill from here» was and still is terrifying.

29-year-old tech worker making $400K annually working 20 hours a week complains about being bored: ‘If he quits, good luck finding half that amount’

There’s a vast difference between your apartment being mildly messy and being at risk for bugs and mice. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with leaving clean clothes in the laundry basket for a few days or leaving the book you’re reading on the ground.
