Organising your madness

Wow!! I thought I was the only woman on the face of this planet that didn’t have it together. When you look at some women, they seem to be so perfect, with their hair always neat and every strand in place, notes are always clean and together, rooms tidy and clothes folded up, I can go on and on.
I on the other hand was always the opposite of them, my hair wasn’t always so tidy, and neither was my room and my entire life. You see, what I discovered was that my disorganized nature reflected in my everyday life. I realized that I was never early to events, never prioritized and was basically disorganized in several ways.

I’ve taken part in a couple of stage dramas, something we did often was to organize chaos scenes and rehearse them so they look natural to the audience. The madness in everyone’s life has to be organized.

What I needed to do was to understand my problem and then I found out I’m not the only one in it. I started making a conscious effort to tidy things up for myself, cos nobody’s gonna do it for you.

I always asked myself the question “How would you like to find that thing or place when you return?” “Don’t you wanna make it easy to find items you’re looking for?” so every time you get tired and lazy to pick up that piece of paper on the floor, you remember these questions.

There’s a popular saying that the only time a woman gets to rest is when she’s dead. We women are always busy. We have to look after our husbands, kids, cleaning up after them, feeding them and still have a 9am-5pm job. It sure isn’t an easy job to do what we do as women, but what can we do? We aint gonna rest until we're dead so we might as well get our acts together and organize our daily madness.
