It’s Wednesday. You’ve already pressed snooze five times this morning. The coffee has yet to be made. A half-eaten piece of toast lies on the counter. While the train arrives in ten minutes, it takes you fifteen to get to the station! Does this scenario remind you of someone?
Has this person:
"Had these kinds of mornings more than three times a week?"
"Arrived at events late a majority of the time?"
"Randomly forgotten things?"
Could this “someone” be a friend, a family member, or even yourself? If you (or a loved one) are nodding your head to any of these questions, then you need to have an intervention; but don’t worry! We have a few ADDeas for you!
If you are shaking your head, ask yourself this:
Am I being honest with myself? Remember that the first way to deal with a problem is to acknowledge the problem. If you are being honest with yourself, congratulations and come back on Sunday for our next article.
Organization, as the title suggests is a concept that involves sorting, filing… organizing things. But is this a skill one can so easily acquire? How do we become more organized? Let's go over the different types of organization and their benefits. According to “The Balance Career,” there are multiple organization skills:
You would think that these three types of organization are incredibly different, and it may seem like the end is not nigh, not even in the same orbit, but there are a few things in common…
For example, being physically organized is how you distribute your things in a given area, keeping in mind the rules from “The Container Store,” visibility, accessibility and flexibility and this becomes your unique system. Being physically organized means having a system for how you arrange things… but isn’t a plan a system as well? (Teamwork will be discussed on the 14th and the 29th; mark your calendars!) These are all interconnected. Being organized not only saves time, but it also diminishes clutter, reduces miscommunication, the systems you make for yourself indirectly stimulates your creativity, which makes you less prone to relapsing into the habit of being forgetful. Do you see? These are all complementary.
So if you really think about it, the organization is the way in which the elements of a whole are arranged. The common person must be thinking: “Ah! This is easy! I’ll just organize my room! I’ll organize my house! And make a time table! And my life will become smoother.” And then begins to look at how to be more organized, find an article, and practice it to find that in a week, everything is back to how it is originally. So think bigger… and you’ll see that the “whole” doesn’t mean a physical area or space; As you become more organized, you will see that the “elements” represents the dynamic nature of your life and the “whole” represents yourself. How can you expect an application to run efficiently when the code is a mess? Organization begins from within.
