You will get more total body results in the long run by focusing on strength gains over a specific training period. You can certainly achieve some measure of result by just not sitting at home, and that's fine. You will get to a certain point and go no further without a plan. And if that's all you want, then by all means, do it.
I just don't see the point in dedicating oneself to a fitness program without any specific direction.

No, you can't and that's where the variations in the workout come into play, helping to alleviate the potential for negative emotional and psychological implications which could subsequently adversely affect the physical side of the workout.
With no real numerical goal or historical reference to such, I'm not allowing myself into being constrained or impacted by failing to reach a certain goal or even noting a degradation in my overall performance.

Variations in the workout don't prevent plateaus, either. All you're doing is bouncing around losing and gaining strength on certain exercises by doing them and then abandoning them.
And if that's what makes you happy, then more power to you.
