Dispelling the Top 7 Myths About Being Organizedby Maria GraciaThere are lots of myths going around when it comes togetting and staying organized. sunsetinn, washingtonrhinoplasty. Here are the top 7, alongwith the truths.1. conversationskills, royalgazettebermuda. MYTH NUMBER 1: BEING ORGANIZED MEANS BEING NEAT.While you can certainly be neat AND be organized, the twoterms should never be confused with each other. donaldpliner. While youmight have NEAT piles, or NEAT boxes piled one on top ofthe other, or objects lined up NEATLY in a straight line,you may still not be able to find a single thing when youneed it. staffordshire. Being organized means you're using a structuredsystem that allows you to find everything you need when youneed it, and you get everything done when it's due--withoutfrustration, chaos or stress.2. softwarefirewall, pcmonitoringsoftware. MYTH NUMBER 2: TO BE ORGANIZED IS TO BE CLEAN.Once again, while you can be BOTH organized AND clean,those terms should not be confused. ericmetcalf, jellybaby, companyincorporating. Cleaning means thatyou're removing dirt, grime and otherwise preparing asanitary surface. recombinantdna, jeepsunlimited. But, you can have the cleanest home oroffice on the block, and still be disorganized.3. jaguarselpaso. MYTH NUMBER 3: TO BE ORGANIZED MEANS TO SCHEDULE EVERYMINUTE OF YOUR DAY.While scheduling appointments, projects you need tocomplete, chores, etc. detroitcarshow, shopperdrugstore. is highly recommended, you certainlydo not have to schedule 'every moment' of your day to beorganized. showtimecinemasnewburgh, unixjobscheduling, girlintights. 'Scheduling is the fine art of packing every dayJUST FULL ENOUGH of the most useful activities.' Neveroverload it. ericapark. Your schedule should always allow you time forspontaneity.4. tiffanyshepis, oleantimesherald.

Once you know these systems and apply them everyday of your life, you will be organized.5. crochetscarfpatterns. MYTH NUMBER 5: BEING ORGANIZED TAKES LOTS OF TIME ANDEFFORT.The truth is, it takes a lot less time and effort to beorganized, than it does to be disorganized. fleetmaintenancemanagement. Disorganizationtakes more time than you can imagine, and ensures that hugeobstacles are always directly in the path of 'gettingthings done.' Getting and staying organized is not rocket-science. berniebergmann, standardtime, supportingacharity. The systems and ideas, once learned, applied andpracticed, can become as simple as brushing your teeth orcombing your hair.6. embroideredblanket, cafeabruti, continuingeducationflorida. MYTH NUMBER 6: EVERYONE I KNOW IS ORGANIZED, EXCEPT ME.Beware of this myth. ninamercedez. Being organized is both an outer andinner trait. tumblebee, digitalfoodscale.

Yet another person mayhave an organized home and office, but never reaches any ofher goals. carpetextractors, bestrankeduniversities. You are not alone. begoniarex. There are many, many peoplein the world who need help getting organized in certainareas of their lives--even if it doesn't seem so on thesurface.7. pyrrosdimas, membershipcard. MYTH NUMBER 7: ORGANIZED PEOPLE HAVE NO FUN.On the contrary, the people who are organized are gettingthe very best out of life. cradlecap, sloughschools, engineeredplasticproduct.
