Marilyn Paul, a successful management consultant, confronts the issue of organization in her book, It’s Hard to Make a Difference When You Can’t Find Your Keys. She states, “Organization is deeper and more powerful than I once thought. It’s not only about freeing ourselves from clutter or putting ‘everything in its place.’ It’s about expanding our sense of personal efficacy. It’s also about discovering courage and dignity, and living our true life purpose.”
It’s easy to think of surface-level problems and results when discussing organization. But the roots go much deeper. As Marilyn Paul describes, piles of papers and other types of disorganization drain us mentally and emotionally. This leaves less of us fully available to our children [and ourselves]. Maintaining this panoramic view of organization will help us find the energy to take necessary steps toward change.
