Are You an Organized Person?

The first step to going about the organizing business is to define yourself first. This is important, so that even as you get to know your strengths and weakness, you get to improve on them and consciously drop some habits that are not beneficial.

Here are some questions you can ask yourself:
1. How long does it usually take you to unearth particular things like letter, bill, report or files?
2. Check your desk if there are loose papers other than important reference materials. Are these things have been there lying for over a month?
3. Was there ever a time that your utilities got disconnected because you forgot to pay them on time?
4. Have you ever overlooked appointments, anniversaries
5. Do you have books and magazines piled up that you have meant to read?
6. Do you usually put off work assignments until the last minute and rationalize as you are better at rising to the occasion during crunch time.
7. How frequently do you misplace your car keys, mobile, eyeglasses and other items you commonly carry with you?
8. Do you often stack up your things in a corner of your closest until it piles up because you cannot decide where to put them?
9. Do you honestly think your storage problems will be solved if you only have more space?
10. Do you dream of being an organized person but you get downhearted when you see all the mess that you don't know where to start?
11. Do you give out household assignments to your kids that they carry out willingly?
12. By the day's end, do you usually realize that you have accomplished the majority of things in your list?
13. Do you have the most commonly used kitchen items in the most convenient place?
14. Check out your living room. Is it arranged in such a way that family can speak comfortably without having to raise their voices?
