The Real Reason People Crave Organization
During one of my workshops, I asked the students to write down the reasons why it is so important for them to be organized.
Most of the answers were the same…
- I want to be able to find my things
- I don’t want to be late for appointments
- I would like to have guests over to entertain
Then I asked them to write down the reasons why it is so important for them to find their things, not be late for appointments and have guests over.
And then something interesting happened…
Just about every student sat there with a vacant look on their face, similar to a deer in headlights stare.
You see, on the surface, people can generally express why they want to be organized, but when you ask them to get in touch with it on a deeper level, they find it rather difficult to articulate their feelings.
The truth of the matter is, people want to be more organized because they crave something much deeper. More meaningful.
The challenge is getting them to unleash the frustration, overwhelm and stress they have suppressed from playing hide-and-seek and cringing from embarrassment because they missed a deadline, showed up late or have to tell another fib about why they can’t have company over.
I have found in my 20+ some years of being in practice, that until a person can get in touch with the root cause of their clutter the cycle will continue. It is the reason why I created Coaching Through The Clutter; Mindful Tools for Organized Living. It is a coaching program that helps people not just release their clutter but also become more consciously aware so they can begin to make healthier choices in their life.
