It’s my doom, especially in a small home. It’s also occasionally enabled those odd moments of synchronicity to occur. Right now is one of those times. Being organized is exceptionally important, mind you. But I get stressed out when I go on the occasional tossing streak, because at the time I collected something, I probably had a reason for it, whether conscious or subconscious.

Criss is absolutely correct. Another valuable resource for being organized is "Time Management from the Inside Out" by Julie Morgenstern. For all those people with empty file cabinets and piles of paper, there is hope. To get all that paperwork into the file cabinet, you need a system to process it. Then you need to schedule processing the paperwork into your work day. The busier you get the more the lack of these can spiral out of control and cost you valuable time and money. Not to mention the personal stress which creates a lack of confidence. This will ultimately hamper your performance. The most valuable thing about having a handle on your time and to do's is when bumps in the road come, or you have a really busy time, you can adjust and get back on track relatively quick. You can prioritize and postpone things with confidence. Having control over your choices of what to do or not to do is the ultimate liberation. I help clients set up systems in their office so they can go do what they specialize in.
