Psssst. Yes, I'm talking to you. You know who you are, don't you? You're the one who's well-intentioned and perhaps even quite ambitious. To some people, you may even seem to "have it all together" – at least to those who don't have to work closely with you. Those closest to you know that, as wonderful as you otherwise may be, you operate most of the time in a very 'scattered', disorganized state. As a result, many of your goals and deadlines don't get met, or if they do, you tend to leave a lot of wreckage in your wake on the way there.

You, too, can become skillful – and even develop mastery – in the organization of your priorities, your time, your energy, and your daily activities. After all, who wants to be annoying, scattered, unskillful, disorganized, and stressed out when life can be so much more relaxed, enjoyable, focused, and productive with just a little effort and discipline?

The full text of this article includes an introduction to the problem of being disorganized, and reviews four weekly and nine daily tips for becoming enjoyably organized.
