David Allen: What Does "Organized" Really Mean?
The Huffington Post: "I'm fascinated by the mystery surrounding 'getting organized.' The billions of dollars spent on a vast array of tools and information for managing ourselves and our stuff would seem to indicate the widespread belief in a get-it-together Holy Grail somewhere. And the Sirens keep beckoning with a continual parade of techno-magic gizmos that will pull it all together. But the ultimate formula remains elusive. I'm still asked by some of the brightest folks around, 'What's the best way to get organized? How do I create the best system for myself? How do I know what to do with all this stuff?' Lo, they seek but have not found."

This is probably the most logical answer to what is "being organized." It makes total sense that people can't figure out how to be organized because they don't want to confront all their shit and ask what it means to them/where should it go. Why do you think there are shows on TLC like "Clean Sweep"? Cause most people don't have the patience and motivation to do it themselves. It really is incredibly useful having an "outside eye" come in and tell you what really is trash and what is a reasonable thing to keep. The other problem however is that there are people who have the right mindset to tackle this kind of constant cycle, but the trick is finding the time.
