[INFJ] Would you describe yourself rather as chaotic or organised?

Yes, I know what you mean. I am not like that, currently, because my (poorly regulated) autoimmune disorder causes fatigue. I used to be that way.
My SO is more like you, and sometimes it is a little difficult for me to let go and deal with the stacks of things building up.
I do really like to keep some stuff out, though, to make a house more comfortable. how the rooms look, the layout, the visual design, etc, are all important to me.
I have an INTJ friend who is so clean and OCD that he makes me look like a slob. His house looks like nobody lives there. His stove looks like nobody has ever cooked on it. (No exaggeration.) There is nothing in his fridge. He's had a crush on me for years (yes, my SO knows, they're close friends, it is not awkward) and all I think is, "One week of living with me and he would lose his mind and hate me."
Hahahaha. all my friends and my SO call me an 'elf', too.
I am the reincarnation of order and structure. My boss called me 'superstructured'. But I don't like cleaning much. Just need to have everything organised.
I have to add that I am in a hopeless situation because I have 4 teens in the house...but I manage to breath every now and then. And my desk at work....nothing on it except my keyboard, 2 monitors and a docking station, all aligned in a harmonious way
. I manage to leave the mouse to its own though.

I bought Marie's book and read it just as the Netflix series came out. I heavily organize my external world. I enjoy putting things in their "place" or "home". I've done this my entire life. I had specific standing places on shelves for my action figures growing up. I heard comments after every sleepover that went similar to "We loved having Daustus over, he helped pick up toys after the boys played and helped clean up after dinner."
I use Google keep to track and organize my notes i take. I organize them about 1-2 times a week or so. I make yearly life goals and build to do lists for them.
My INTJ wife enjoys organization but has a high tolerance for things to clutter up. I'm a "Tidy Elf". I routinely clean up after her when she's piling dirty clothes, dishes, etc. I focus more on putting things away versus actually cleaning and sanitizing surfaces. My desk at work always looks clean and pristine.

I also have a poorly regulated autoimmune disorder that cause fatigue. Working on managing this year. Going well!

Oh no!!! I'm glad you are taking steps toward wellness.
I just saw a specialist today! She says she can make me 'better'. I feel so optimistic and hopeful about this. She listened, confirmed, and said she could change how I feel for the better. My last doctor was, well, a roadblock.
Thanks! I don't want to downplay it but it's going well. I am feeling good on an energy level. 2019 has been a health and fitness year so far for me.
I relate to this very much, haha. I'm very good at pre-empting the possibility of things becoming messy. This is the main reason why I tend to be minimalist about where I live.
I would say I'm quite organised but I don't think I'm very "smart" about being organised, if that makes any sense.

A friend of mine is getting frustrated with Tinder, I'll suggest this as a new pick up line.
"So, ummm, would you like to come over to mine? You need to see my environment; it is built like a work of mathematical harmony *wink wink*"

Yea I tend to do this as well and always have. I get a bit over sensitive about people touching my stuff sometimes, but I try to be chill about it.
I have a bit of OCD when it comes to having everything in their place.
There is something extremely therapeutic and calming when you have a neat and organized house. I don’t mind if things get a little messy or few things are misplaced or disheveled. But if it doesn’t get cleaned after a while, it does bug me and I have the insane urge to go Cinderella and just clean clean clean!
Spring cleaning is in the midst tooooooooo!!
