Any posters with psychological training want to weight in why people are wired differently?

Well after working a lot the past few years, I recently quit my job (temporarily though!) and am taking a few months off.

I am using my free time doing a thorough, deep-cleaning of my entire home.
Everyday I do as much cleaning as I can and the results are truly gratifying for me personally.

When I was working so much, I had barely time to scrub the toilet since I wanted to rest on my off days vs. clean.
So it has been a very productive time for me.
