Day 17 - Organization

I have always had an organized mind.  Logically I would only put something in one of five places so it it difficult for me to lose something.  I used to be an organized person, but something has happened.

Is it hormones?  I have read (of course) that as you approach menopause you go crazy and have no memory to speak of.  Actually, this sounds a lot like puberty.  Oh, poor Bob.  He's getting it from two ends of the spectrum.  I've always been crazy but I once had a memory.  Lack of could definetly be affecting my organization skills.

Is it laziness?  Extra pounds, extra years, extra bad habits.  Have I lost that work ethic that used to come so natural?  Am I slipping into that zone where soon I quit shaving my underarms because it's too much work and not because I want to look the part of the savvy environmentalist?  Oh no, I may already be there. 

Is it not enough time?  Am I too busy doing other things that are more necessary or more fun than staying organized?  Like SST, TLT, GLP, STI?

Have I lost my OCD?  I used to clean out my drawers every month.  My space might be messy but I couldn't stop until the innards were immaculate.  I don't worry about that stuff anymore.  Actually I do but not to the degree that I used to.  I mean all of my shelves at work are coded by subject.  And I have reading seperated into phonics, sight word and comprehension resources.  And all of my books are leveled before they are put on the shelf.  And addition is together, subtraction and so on.  And my paper is seperated into card stock, white, colored, construction, etc.  But, I do have a big pile of mess on my desk that needs to be organized.

All I know is I have to find a way to change the trajectory of my organizational skills before I become a complete and total slob and never find my way out.
