organizing myth

Many people falsely believe that the words "organized" and "neat" or "tidy" mean the same thing. They think that if you are organized, you must me neat and tidy...and if you are neat and tidy, you must be organized.

While there is some truth to the fact that you can be neat and organized at the same time, there is also a HUGE percentage of neat people who are extremely disorganized.

In fact, and this one's probably going to throw you for a loop -- you can be a total slob (not that I recommend this) and still be organized!

So, what does it mean to be organized?

1) You get everything done when it's due.

2) You find everything you need when you need it.

It's really that SIMPLE.

I personally have several clients who have very different ways of "organizing" their things, but it works for them! While it may not be my style, they truly do get everything done when it is due and they can find any thing they need at a moments notice. They might not be as "neat" or "tidy" as some of my other clients but they are far more "organized."

Keep this in mind as you look around your home or office and decide which areas need to be organized and which areas just need a little neatening
