http://thetidytutor.com My friend Bob and I went to a party and it is at the party where
I do this weeks Motivation Monday, motivation to get organized and stay organized.

It was last minute and so I couldn't prepare. Don't you hate it when you need to go to a party or a wedding and you haven't gotten things together?

When you are an OG (organizationally gifted) it isn't horrible, but still it does create some havoc. My sister who is really organized, if she leaves for a party unprepared her house is in a bit of disarray.

But the thing is with organized people, things don't get crazy because they don't have to pull everything out of their drawers, or the hamper, to find something. We can be organized!

OGP just get what they need, and while they may have several sets of clothing out on their bed and ironing board it is a quick fix when they arrive home. They live an organized life.

I can remember the mayhem that would ensue getting out of the house for an event. Running out to the store for stockings, getting the outfit I wanted to wear out of the closet only to find that it needed to be dry cleaned or had a button missing.

Not being able to find the mate to the pumps I wanted to wear because of all the clutter. I did so much want to live clutter free, but I didn't know how or where to start to live an organized life.

Without the good habits in place, and with all the clutter everywhere, and excess of everything, the house looked like a cyclone hit it by the time we left.

I know you can relate to this. It sounds like no big deal, but when you are living it, it really can be a sad situation. It almost takes the joy our of going to festive occasions.

(forget it if you were preparing an entire family to go somewhere!)

I thought that everyone experienced these things, I found out that wasn't true.

It does not have to happen. If OGP (Organizationally Gifted People) find life in disarray when not prepared for an event, is it any wonder that us OC (Organizationally Challenged) find ourselves beside ourselves?

Definitely we want to run away from ourselves. But alas, we take ourselves with us wherever we go. Preparing may not seem to be the fun thing to do, I still hate to do it. BUT it sure makes life more funner.

Getting rid of the clutter does more than make you happy when you walk in the front door, it also brings you peace in your every day existence and takes those potentially harried moments and defuses them.

I hope you enjoy the video.
