I quite enjoy being organized & like to have checklists for most tasks so that I can keep on top of what I am doing as I often have a variety of things going at a time. I feel that having a cluttered mind is one the worst times for me & notice the lack of efficiency which inspires frustration. Thanks for your words of wisdom : )

As for the mess on my desktop! Enough said on that score. Digital dust gathering!

“Think about it for a minute: when you want to find something, how long does it take you?” I am not going to answer that!!!!!

I don’t like clutter in fact I clean my workspace up every Sunday ready for the week. As I am strongly visual, I notice things when they are messy and I tidy up, but I am not a fastidious fusspot either. I like my house clean and comfortable.

I am a person with piles, hmmm no not those piles. I tend to put things into piles that need to be done, things that I need to file, things that I don’t know what the heck to do with so that pile gets moved around the house constantly, it’s a bit like something John Cleese would do!

I feel that it is a good idea to not make your life cluttered and to make space and be organised so you can find stuff when you need it.

I used to be such a clean-freak, almost obsessive-compulsive kid, but in the last 10-15 years I’ve lapsed into being a total hoarder, just like my parents! It’s a horrible disease & I wish I could channel some of my anally-retentive childhood…

Although it’s been good at times to have everything-including-the-kitchen-sink on hand, I have to be honest & say there is such a drain on my mind & energy when I walk into my office & see paperwork & goodness knows what, stacked up in piles around the room…
It would be nice to know what leads a person to go from one extreme to the other, as far as organisation goes (or lack of..) but I guess all that matters is creating the NEXT set of goals to work towards, even if it means clearing out one drawer/cupboard/box at a time, freeing up physical & mental space to move forward!..

With regard to the clutter wasting my time, that’s not necessarily so. While my flat is cluttered, I’m the only one that lives here, so it’s not like things are being unnecessarily moved about. And when I do put something down, or need to find something, I can, because I have a reasonable idea of where I would have put it.

This comes more into effect when you are working in a kitchen (as I do). Over the years, I have been able to impress my bosses with being able to tell them where they could find ingredients or objects, with relative ease, because I’ve always put them back where I got them from.

That could be a system for people to try. If you live in a household with a few people or more, try and get them into the habit of putting things back where they found it. That way, there is always at least two people, that know where any particular thing is!

Cheers,

Pete
