\u201cOrganization is the key to success. \u201d<\/p>\n
Yes.\u00a0 Right. Very good . . .\u00a0 Umm . . .\u00a0 Psst.<\/em> Over here. Psst.<\/em><\/p>\n Is there some back door I can slip through instead? Are all the doors to success locked with the organization key; there must be a service entrance?<\/p>\n I\u2019m terrible at organizing.\u00a0 My efforts start off fine: I can make a to-do list, tidy up my closet, and arrange my business agenda for the upcoming week . . . but leave all this alone a few days and it soon reverts to chaos.<\/p>\n Why? Because life is fast. It\u2019s full of changes, full of plans and things can flip themselves upside down without notice. Expect the unexpected: an employee quits, your car tire explodes, the kids are sick. Suddenly there\u2019s no time for planning and putting things back where they belong.<\/p>\n And yet, even when life threatens to spin out of control, having a clear path and a clean room can be the very lifesaver we need.\u00a0 Organization can offer reassurance that things will work out; it can offer moments of peace in a busy day, and most importantly: Organization gives a sense of control. <\/strong><\/p>\n Without that control your business and lifestyle \u2013 like any car on the road \u2013 can veer off in dangerous directions.<\/p>\n Some of you are probably excellent organizers, maybe it\u2019s even how you earn a living. I\u2019d love to hear your tips for putting life in order because as a naturally disorganized individual I really need to invest time and effort into keeping things straight.<\/p>\n But I manage.\u00a0 Everyone must manage to some extent \u2013 otherwise how can people find clean clothes every morning? For me, organization is directly linked to accountability. <\/strong><\/p>\n I must be accountable to my wife and family when creating a mess at home. I must be accountable to my clients when working towards a deadline.\u00a0 I must be accountable to myself when ensuring I have free time.\u00a0 Actually, I\u2019m accountable to myself in all the projects I adopt, but having outside support is important.<\/p>\n If I step out of line these accountability partners will help set me straight. Often, simply knowing there are expectations is enough to have me stop, review, and then<\/em> proceed.<\/p>\n Do you think organization is the key to success? How do you achieve an organized life?
