Organize + Energize: Disorganized? 5 Emotions You Will Experience
Tuesday, September 30, 2014
Being disorganized will bring on many negative emotions, which can be turned around as soon as you realize they are connected to the way you are living, whether it is at work or home.
Here are 5 emotions you may be experiencing due to your disorganization:
1. Stress. Physical clutter and mental clutter will cause stress. This will cause you to lose focus, get distracted and decrease your productivity levels. To work on your stress levels, just focus on decluttering. Don’t worry about getting organized yet, just declutter.
2. Overwhelmed. You want to get organized, but the entire process is too overwhelming. You tend to shut down in the middle of your project. Break your project into small tasks. Have a plan and set a time limit before you even physically start your project.
3. Anxious. Just the thought of getting organized sends you into a tailspin. You may have a panic attack, feel dizzy and uneasy. Sometimes you want to snap your fingers, close your eyes and wake up and have it all be gone. Think about a bedroom that is disorganized. Your bedroom is a place of serenity. Staring at disorganization and clutter before bed and when you wake will truly add to your anxiety.
4. Stuck. You want to get organized, but you don’t know where to begin. You may have grown up in a disorganized home and your organizational skill set was never developed. Your work and home life may be suffering because you are lacking the skill set. If you are stuck, it may be time to bring in a professional that can transfer that skill set to you and help you with this process.
5. Exhausted. You feel like you are running a mile a minute in a hundred different directions. You are missing appointments, showing up late for appointments, and being pulled in all different directions. If you are disorganized, get yourself on a schedule, write to-do lists, keep a calendar, and create routines in the home and at the office.
Do any of the above emotions sound like what you are going through? You are not alone, because many people feel the same way. You don’t have to feel this way. Realize you are feeling this way due to your disorganization and make a plan to move forward.
