I have been pondering why I am so disorganized. I didn't use to be this way. I have concluded that my failings are due to others' expectations or lack there of.
Throughout my career, others have always expected me to lead the way... to voice my opinions, right or wrong... to do things my way. While my husband was living, he had many of the same expectations. I was the one who filled the car with gas, who made the doctors' appointments, who planned our family vacations.
Now that I am only three months from retirement, the expectations at work have eased, I am allowed to slow down and do things at a pace with no urgency. And, since I now have no one left to care for at home, I have slacked off there as well.
It is time for me to discipline myself to stay focused even if no one else expects me to. So how do I plan to do this? One step at a time.
There is a website, http://flylady.net, that is designed to help people like me put one foot in front of the other, develop routines, and have time to pursue things of interest, time that has previously been wasted by living a disorganized lifestyle. So, if there are others of you who feel harried by disorganization, visit this website and learn for yourself to make little changes that can make a big improvement in your life.
Live long and prosper!
