BellaOnline Forums Health and Fitness Attention Deficit Disorder Are you organized?

Do you consider yourself to be an organized person? Were you always that way? We'd like to here about your organizational tips.

What are your organizational challenges? Clutter, paper, clothes everywhere?

Now, your turn...

My biggest challenge is feeling overwhelmed. Does anybody else do that?

Well, staying focused is another challenge! How about you?

Hmm, depends on my mood really. I get really organized sometimes and do things in a neat manner. But sometimes all things go haywire.. :-/

jodiemt, it really helps to hear things like that from other people!

I appreciate you taking time to post. See you soon!

I love to be organized and hate it when i let things build up in piles. I find it very soothing to have everything all lined up nicely and in some kind of easy order!

I am trying to make the time to do this more.

Jilly, I'd never thought of order as soothing. It's obvious, now that you've said it!

Thanks for contributing.

Connie, one of my biggest stressors is not knowing where things are. I hate being asked a "where is" question, since I never know where things are and have to hunt for things and wrack my brains to remember where something might be.

I am not moving around any more, so I can finally find homes for stuff. What a relief. I know it will take some time (years) to get everything ordered, but each step i take makes me feel comforted.

Jilly, thanks for stopping by. Your insights are always welcome!

I organized a couple of piles yesterday, and it did make me feel better. You might be onto something here!

I did work some more on my binders today. What i really like is not having to remember anything - bc it's written on my calendar or listed in a binder.

I can't remember anything any more, seriously.

With a binder for each thing, like medical info, local resources, current projects, important information, pet care, etc, then I don't have to wrack my head trying to figure out where my info is and or whatever. I even have a bill paying binder that tells me where to drop off each check and how much the late fees are, and so on.
