Subject: Are you an organized person?

Written By: CeramicsFanatic on 07/09/04 at 1:50 pm

I'm in between organized and disorganized.  :D

Subject: Re: Are you an organized person?

In between.

I'll happily clear up my CDs. Every single one, in the pile, work out which order it used to go in, work out which order it should go in, make 6 foot piles, alphabetize, sort, resort, and then start again. I have to make sure everything's right, but it's when I fall that I'm not good. Sometimes I'll annoy myself by messing out a CD from the pile, and having to knock over the whole pile again, creating hours more work.

I slip, I slide, but I stay just about there..

At work and at home I'm very organized except for my dressing room-that's my outlet  :D

In between.  In my personal life, I'm disorganized.  I always plan to change this, yet I never seem to get around to doing so.

In business, I'm VERY organized and very structured.  (I'm a paralegal, I HAVE to be)  I cannot stand to work in an unorganized environment.

I have to admit that I'm in-between. No matter how organized I try to stay, I keep getting disorganized. :-\\

Well, a little more than in between, but still not "very organized."  At times I'm very obsessive compulsive about keeping my room neat, etc.

Not at all.  I used to be but I let it go.  I really need to get organized again.

I'm in between because I sometimes shove my stuff under my bed, but I like to keep my room tidy, too.

No I am not particularly organised in any area of my life.

In between. Our flat might be a bit of a mess most of the time, but our record, CD and DVD collections are all in alphabetical and chronological order! (If we have multiple albums by one artist or films with sequels, they're listed chronologically.) Both Rush and I have our "cleaning fits" where we do nothing but straighten up the place for hours. Only then is everything completely organised!!! :)

Organized? What does that mean?  Actually, I do try to be but I'm not.  :-[ I have piles of stuff everywhere-but I know what it is in those piles. (This is basically one of the only things that DC and I argue about)

Let's see...I'd say 65% organised and 35% not...

The 35% disorganised part is probably down to laziness...I do have to mentally (and sometimes physically!) kick myself into action at times...

Subject: Re: Are you an organized person?

Written By: Sentimentalist on 07/09/04 at 6:34 pm

Well, I have OCD,  not the neat freak type, the kind where you have to save everything 'cause you might need it in the future.  The toughest part is when I need a part for a reel and I go through my clutter, and low and behold I find the exact part I need.  That makes it tought to kick when you get an occasional bad behavior reinforcer.
God lyk!

It depends on the situation. At work I am very anal about what goes where. They make fun of me because everything has its place.  At home, well, I try to be but with three kids, GOOD LUCK! My hubby used to be a COMPLETE neat freak. It was military organized, but I broke him somewhat. ;D

Subject: Re: Are you an organized person?

Written By: Marty McFly on 05/15/05 at 6:47 am

I'm somewhere in-between, but it depends on what.

For instance, I'm a total nerd with alphabetizing/categorizing my collection of videos, CDs, magazine/books, video games. However, I'm bound to leave little things (i.e. papers) lying around, creating semi messes. Sometimes, I'm also kinda lazy with putting my clothes all away, LOL.

Occasionally, I do get like Doc Brown and go, "GREAT SCOTT! Where on Earth did I leave !?" ;D

I am so totally unorganized it is amazing to me how I have actually able to survive. I drive myself
and everyone around me absolutely nuts with the things I tend to misplace or not remember.  But,
on the other hand I handle stress extremely well and am able to pull everything together at the
very last minute, just when what ever needs doing looks like it will all become undone.  I tried to
be more organized and read all those articles on what to do, but I am hopeless.

Written By: NullandVoid on 05/15/05 at 8:30 am

I'm definitely in between.
My CD/DVD/Videogames collection are immpeccable. Neatly arranged and cleaned frequently. Now my closet... organized? all I gotta say is LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!

Subject: Re: Are you an organized person?

Written By: Kyle on 05/15/05 at 12:15 pm

Sometime I can get a little bit too unorganized, but most of the time I try to keep the place I'm in the way I found it, if I could remember.  At school, most of my books and band music are in order, but when it gets to choir music and science papers, it is a totally different story.  Some times, the choir teacher at my old school got after me for forgetting my music for the 37th time.

I'm organized but in a tidy, artistic way.
I organize my clothes by the colors of the spectrum. I put my skirts on different hangers, my jackets and heavy sweaters together, and my day-to-day wear in another section.

I have all my art supplies in stackable, slide-out drawer bins. I have my collectibles in bins, as well. Yet, all my stuff looks rather tidy, like an English Cottage kind of tidy.

That is what I wrote in 2004. What has changed in that time is my new BEAUTIFUL house. I am trying very hard to make is VERY organized. Since moving in, I have tackled one corner of it or another (a room here, a closet there) to make it more organized. I still have a long way to go but it is coming along SLOWLY!
