Language is the key to chronic disorganization.  Also not getting your needs fulfilled.  Humans do not get enough sleep, breathe, eat, go to the bathroom well.  Humans do not get enough sunlight.  The only thing we usually have is shelter, but some people don't even have that.  The essential things in life that we need are being ignored and replaced with things like too much activity (shopping), polluted air, snacks, laxatives, and social media and television.  We also suffer in the shelter department in the way of inadequate beds, disorganized homes, leaky faucets, dangerous neighborhoods, or dressing improperly for the elements. 

We have confused needs with wants and wants with needs.

To stop the madness and write a list of the things in the "need" category, that you are missing or low on, such as air, improved diet, shelter, hydrating, sleep, sunlight, going to the bathroom regularly and with good outcome (no pun intended.)  

Then write a list of things that you value in life, for instance, being a great parent, or writing a novel, or peace and quiet.  Then write a list of things you absolutely want to do in life before your next birthday.  Then write a list of things you absolutely will do, within the next three years.

Becoming connected to what you want in life is the first step in becoming organized long-term.  Without goals or dreams why bother putting one foot in front of the other, really.  Our goals don't have to be lofty, although I do like to go big on goals.  I would rather say I'll make $5 million dollars over the next two years than $50K.  Go big on goals, as long as you have the abilities to reach big goals then go for it.  If you are illiterate and your goal is to write a best selling novel that is a bit of a reach, but if you won a school prize in the poetry contest, that goal is reachable.  If you want to be an olympic athlete but you smoke pot, eat improper foods and don't train, then, well, find another goal.

The relation between what we need (the seven essential things that keep us alive), what we want in life, and what we will do to get it is the secret to staying on target in life, performance and productivity and efficiency.

Speaking to yourself properly and putting "will" back in your language, "will" get you to your ideal lifestyle.

For woman who love to take their bra off as soon as they get home.  By Marla Stone

Becoming Perpetually Organized

You know who you are.  You come home tired, hungry, irritable, and want to get that bra and clothes off immediately.  You long for comfy, the couch and your fav show  But where does your bra and dirty clothing land?  Anywhere convenient of course.  Sound familiar.  Aaaah but taking  that bra off is divine!  

I'm not here to tell you to stop doing something that brings on such relief, but how to not have what I call perpetual disorganization.  So here are some quick tips for keeping the bra and clothing out of sight until you muster the energy and will to put it in the laundry basket.

1. place baskets where you generally disrobe.  Don't put clothes on the floor, bed, couch or chairs!!
2. have a laundry basket with holes in it so it breathes until you do laundry.
3. once baskets are full WILL yourself to do the laundry.
4. pick a day that you will do the laundry, when it is convenient, but timely.
5. don't put yourself down for chilling out.
6. have as many baskets around for the places you dump things.
7. do your laundry regularly or get some help with it if you loathe doing laundry.
8. relaxation is the key to motivation.

We all have habits that are engrained in us from childhood but we can change, by understanding that we do not NEED to do anything except breathe, eat nutrition, drink plenty of water, have shelter, sleep, go to the bathroom and sit in the sun once in awhile.  Everything else you either want to do or you will do.  As adults we don't have our parents telling us to clean our room anymore.  Becoming your own great parent system is important to stay organized.  Perpetual disorganization will turn into perpetual organization when you find your will again and realize chores are not needs.
