Thinking Time for an
Organized Life

To have an organized life you will really need to think long term when you are contemplating getting yourself into situations that will affect your life in huge ways and for a long time.

Like:

1) If you decide to go to college.

2) Where you go to college.

3) What you would major in college.

4) If you even want to get married.

5) Who you want to marry.

6) Where you want to live.

7) What type of work you do.

8) Where you want to work.

9) How you want to live.

10) If you want to have children.

People just do all these things and get themselves into all these potentially difficult situations without putting in a lot of thought into them.

All these things are so big, so important and so life changing that every decision of this magnitude deserves careful, long thought out deep thinking. You will not have an organized life without this deep thinking.

A lot of time this stuff just happens. People just do all this without spending too much time on them. I know it seems hard to believe but people do not want to put in the hard effort into thinking through how these major decisions will affect them for years, perhaps the rest of their lives.

For instance my decision to get married was made in haste when I think back on it. I wanted to get married to my wife because I just loved her so much it hurt. I just loved her so dearly and wanted to be with her all the time.

I proposed in August 1993.

We were married in April 1994.

There was not a lot of time for me to think if this was what I really wanted to do. We were only engaged for 8 months. Looking back, I can see that it would have been a good idea to be engaged for at least 1 -1/2 years. This time gives both people more time to verify that getting married is the right thing to do for both people.

I am not sure if I would have made a different decision but more time would have made it easier to spend the time. I can remember not having any time to think then. I was just so busy.

Major decisions demand adequate time to both make. Having a rewarding, well organized life requires time to make these big decisions.
