Most of my life I have been a very disorganized person… my mother would come into my room and sweep my piles of mess off of my dressers and bookshelves in order for me to go through and clean it about once per month. My teachers would go around and dump our desks onto the ground to get us to clean them out… and invevitably I would be one of the lucky ones who had to do that once every quarter or so.
That being said… I probably have some level of ADHD, but really do not care to treat it with any kind of professional help… but wife on the other hand is in the process of getting her more severe case evaluated and properly medicated. I am working through my issues myself… which includes an attempt at organization in an attempt to calm some of the chaos of my life.
There will be videos… there will be TikToks… there will be Reels… hopefully I can make a few of them funny. Honestly, organization is the farthest thing from funny… it is hard… it is stressful… and it is never ending. Once something is put away, you inevitably are forced to use it again… so… it is back on the counter, or back out of whatever tidy order that you found for it. This is life. And it is ok. If everything was always “neat and in its place” it would mean that you never do anything… sitting in the center of a perfectly neat room with vacuum lines is not living…
That being said though, calming some chaos is also important. It is good to have some semblence of organization, and a way to find your way back to that semblance after tearing through it each day.
I am excited to downsize, declutter, and remake myself in ways that are constructive this year. I am going to therapy, I am spending more time doing yoga (which I love), I am going to the gym regularly, I am writing, I am finally making videos that I have been talking about for a long time, and I am getting decluttering as much as humanly possibly with two unorganized adults and two terror-monster-little-boys running around our house 🙂
Enjoy the ride!!!
