be organized

This is something I definitely need to work on in my personal life… hm.

I’ve been very organized at my new job ever since I started it. Now I’m trying to get that organization to bleed over into my personal life. I guess the main reason it’s so hard for me to keep my room clean (living with parents), is because of how small it is. Especially with a bed in it that takes up 75% of the room. My parents redecorated when I went off to college… I don’t think I’ll ever be used to the change. I feel so claustrophic in my room now! It seems like no matter how much I try to clean.. I can’t find a place to put everything. I’ve gotten rid of so much stuff over the last year too – gave it to Gateway Rescue Mission. Now I’m trying to work on selling my old textbooks on ebay. I’ve still got a lot of work to do to really make a dent in my amount of JUNK.

It’s still somewhat like pulling teeth to get myself to keep my parts of the house completely clean.. but things are getting better. More order is becoming apparent within the usual chaos of my space. This shows as a result of how focused my life is becoming. It’s only going to continue to improve… I know.

Though you couldn’t tell that I’m becoming more organized by viewing my room at home…. you can tell in the office. My new job demands that I have a pretty high level or organization in order to function and do well in my endeavors there. This job is helping me to re-learn patterns of organization… and this organization is becoming more and more reinforced into my daily life as a result. It feels really REALLY good.
