In any production situation, when things are truly busy, "housekeeping" is the first thing to go. I can "buy" the premise of maintenance costs outweighing benefits only so far as the mess remains "orderly" enough to keep the work-flow at full efficiency.
I know for sure when I start finding studio chores that are "absolutely necessary", it's because they're such a safe refuge from the terrors of having to deal with paintings that have stalled . . . I could "neatly" procrastinate myself into never picking up a brush again!
