I don’t think I’m naturally that organised but I need to be at work, and now for house stuff I’ve got colour coded spreadsheets and appropriately labelled secondary email accounts and all sorts, so maybe it’s that I don’t really care about most things enough to go to the effort.
Work? Terrible.
Home? Terrible.
Barely significant thing about a hobby? 7 ring binders full of detailed plans with risk assessments, contingency plans and detailed instructions of what to do if I die before the task is complete.
Work: dreadful
Personal: am known for being the one that organises everything to the point then already being asked when the friends Christmas dinner is.In early October.
Personal life: Mess
Work: Actually quite good now. Outlook calendar helps with time management. Write a big list of tasks for myself the previous day to ensure that I don’t arrive the next, twiddling thumbs and whattatodoing. Have to be quite militant with prioritising tasks as I have a tendency to start one thing and get distracted by another.
Was diagnosed with dyspraxia at a fairly young age and it’s taken years of trial and error to see what strategies work.
Only on specific parts of my home life. Most life admin: not great. Card collections: meticulously organised first by faction, then type, then alphabetically within type.
Can’t find many documents or anything useful.
But if you ask me for a bobby pin, I could tell you that I left one on the floor in front of my bedside table. That kind of shit.
