Dealing With People
Organized Lifestyle

It will be difficult to have the organized lifestyle you want if your relationships and dealings with other people are not under control.

You will find that you can get yourself, your life, your areas and most everything you do very well organized but there will be little you can do about others.

You will be proud of yourself, your accomplishments, your ability to get things done, your neat and organized way of being, your uncluttered areas, and rightly so. Just do not expect other people to see it.

Other organized people will see it and may recognize you for it. But most people are not organized and will not care if you are organized or not.

They will see the evidence of you being organized and how much better your life is because of it. But they will not correlate being organized with a better life. They will not get it.

Co-workers will continue to frustrate you because of their mess and chaos. You will have to work around their problems. You may find you need to be a super organized person in order to have any success at all in your job. Your projects will be late in spite of your organizational efforts. You will not always be able to get your co-workers to get the work done on time.

Your spouse will not understand you. If your spouse is a cluttered person your marriage may suffer as a result of you getting organized and wanting to live in an uncluttered way. You will want to spend time planning things to avoid big problems, but your spouse may just jump in anyway.

You may find that you have a bad marriage and need to leave your spouse.

Your kids will not automatically follow your lead even if you are guiding them step by step in trying to be an organized student. I highly encourage you to help your kids with big decisions like playing football or other extracurricular. Your friends may not be organized at all. They may be late and never want to make any plans so you know what is going on.

You will see disorganized people all the time and wonder why they cannot seem to get it together and have an organized lifestyle.

You will see people continue to do things that are not good for them because they do not know when to quit.

You will see chaotic children, clueless parents and mother's who do not know anything about children and homemaking.

You will deal with people who think that minor problems are emergencies. After all, reading through my ideas and doing just some of these things in these articles is fairly easy. Think of it as looking for easy methods to succeed rather than fail.

All this is real. Just because you want to have an organized lifestyle, does not mean that others do.

If fact, I think most people would rather not be organized. They would rather go on living chaotically with drama, than spend any time at all getting their lives together.
