Welcome to the Organized Lifestyle Magazine. This edition is dedicated to those of you who want MORE! More satisfaction, more power and more of not just feeling in control but of actually being in control of your life.
Getting organized seems to be painful for some because it may represent what we are unable to accomplish on our own. Even those of us who are exceptionally accomplished can struggle with aspects of 'being organized'.
The struggle to become organized can be clouded by various factors:
a)
Organic prioritization - this is when individuals choose to do what is considered more important than taking care of themselves such as helping aging parents or working long hours. More on this in the 'Spirit' section of this edition.
b)
Planned avoidance - this is when individuals choose to fill every moment of free time with activities which prevents them from scheduling time to work on areas of their life that feel disorganized.
c)
Unplanned freeze - a natural response that usually occurs because of one major unexpected event (death, dying, divorce, depression, physical injury, job change or job loss). Following an event of this nature, the thought of tackling and organizing even one aspect of our personal or professional lives can feel daunting and potentially unattainable.
We'd love to hear your thoughts. Feel free to share them on our Facebook page.
Enjoy!
