There’s a difference between the individual who knows cups go in the cups cabinet and scissors go in the junk drawer, etc. and the individual whose closet, yarn, and colored pencils are color, size, and use coordinated. It’s a little OCD: Highly Organized and Clean Designer. Now you don’t have to be a designer to have this problem glorious gift. In fact a lot of individuals quite love their clean and organized lifestyle: it makes for an organized and well put together life. Wondering if you’re one of these individuals? If you poses any of these wonderful signs below you’re more than likely a Highly Organized Individual. Embrace it.
1. You color coordinate your closet– You may even go as far as only showing specific colors (that match your room) in the open and keeping the rest tucked comfortably in their color and size coordinated closet home. You may even have your glasses and sunglasses organized alphabetically, with Bulgari sunglasses before Burberry, and Oakley glasses before Prada ones! It’s not a bad thing, use this organization to your strengths!
2. And your planner… – Each category in your life is by color, purple=birthdays, light blue= weddings, orange= important dates, green= appointments, etc. No shame to the color game. I take pride in my color coordinated planner.
3. Constant deadlines– You set at least monthly if not weekly deadlines/goals to accomplish. They stare back at you from your planner taunting you with each passing day, then you complete the goal on deadline, satisfaction sets in, and .5 seconds later a new goal is being penciled in.
4. Every object has a home and its probably labeled– You’re totally normal drawers open up to labeled, color coordinated, perfectly stacked objects. Pens, pencils, paints, paper, notepads, etc. If that isn’t bad amazing enough, you aren’t buying that little trinket or painting, or dittle, unless you can picture it’s home perfectly snug in your house.
5. Email Folders– You not only have folders for emails but a filling cabinet labeled for print outs of those email reciepts.
6. De-Cluttering is a every few hours task– Whether you’re writing, painting, scrapbooking, you take a few minutes every few hours to reorganize, get your head focused and jump back in.
7. 15 minutes early is a way of life– Setting the alarm to plan for any unforseen mishaps or showing up to make sure you can find parking and still not be late to dinner is a priority in your days plans.
8. To Do List is a daily novel– You’re more than likely starting each of your days with a to do list just be sure nothing is skipped over or missed. Oh how I love To Do Lists.
9. You make plans to make plans– You’ve more than likely wrote a To Do List with something on the list like “create another To Do List” or make deadlines calendar or plan for such and such. It’s glorious isn’t it?
10. Enjoy more plans– not only do you enjoy the making of plans (and putting them in the correct color in your planner) but you probably get to enjoy more things as well. Having a To Do List and being highly organized allows you to plan “me time” and time out with friends and family without stress of not getting the rest of your life tasks complete.
Enjoy being organized, its a trait highly sought after and often not achieved. Happy Organizing!
