Here I am over an hour later, and my desk is still a complete disaster. I am thoroughly annoyed at myself and I decided to punish myself by posting a picture. This is what my desk looks like, 90% of the time. I can't stand it, and yet I never seem to make any progress with getting organized.
I hate the whiny tone of this post, but I'm putting it up anyway.
Does anyone have any theories (aka armchair psychiatry) for me as to how a person who craves organization can't seem to accomplish it?!
(picture removed due to sensitive information on papers, etc. on desk)
but trust me - it was bad!
but trust me - it was bad!
HELP.

SO funny that you would post this. I'm basically making money on a couple side jobs doing just this kind of "counseling" for people. I sit with them for a couple hours, figure out their lifestyle, and set up a system that works best for them.
Honestly, half of what I get paid for is just to help people focus for a while to ensure organization comes to fruition.
Don't be frustrated - we ALL need help getting started and sticking with this stuff, including myself.
That said, if you want, don't hesitate to give me a call ANYTIME. :)
omg.
I really have no idea but as a person who has (undiagnosed) OCD, your picture makes me want to come to your house and clean your desk. (And I mean that in a good way. You have no idea how much I love cleaning and organizing. It's a sickness.)
Are you kidding? This is what my whole HOUSE looks like most of the time!! So please, don't feel bad and don't try and punish yourself ;o) We love you, mess or no mess!
thanks Bettina. Whit, I may just call you. C Lo - you may hate me for saying this, but I wish I could turn on a little OCD once in a while, and if I weren't morbidly embarrassed by my mess, I'd give you my address right this very second!
I once heard a theory that procrasination happens when we feel overwhelmed by whatever task lies in front of us . . . it's completely true for me! My desk at work was like that forever, and I just sighed every day and let it go until on day two weeks ago. I guess I had to be ready. I think it's okay to have a messy desk. But I must say it felt really good to clean it. Let us know how it goes!
