How many times you try to get organized, and the results are not much different from your previous experience?
Have you ever said to yourself, “If only I could get organized”? Probably, the answer will be many times. Then why we can’t, or simply we want to escape to get organized in the right way?
That sentence if we only have organized we will do everything is every day around us. But, we have too many distractions, too many unexpected things, too many ways to problem-solving, too many approaches, too much different stuff…
Organized people are more productive people because they know what they need to do, why they need to do and how they need to do. That knowledge will enable them to do what they need to do more quickly than persons who don’t know what they need to do, why they need to do and how they need to do that.
Here, I want to share one of my brainstorming lists with 33 reasons why sometimes simply I can’t get organized.
1. You don’t have the time to get organized.
2. You have too many things to do before starting to get organized.
3. You can’t afford to get organized.
4. There are too many unexpected kinds of stuff that will destroy my organization.
5. You are naturally disorganized, and you haven’t a wish to change.
6. You don’t know what you want.
7. You don’t know where to start.
8. You want to stay in the comfort of the current status quo situation.
