Are You Chaotically Disorganized?
Last week, we celebrated the art of organization with (if we may say so ourselves) a meticulously organized post. And while many of you found a spot among the ranks of the organized, others wondered if they were in the wrong place altogether. In other words, some of you are admittedly, uh, "less than organized."
But we haven't forgotten you, champions of disorder! Even the most obsessive among us have little piles of anarchy. Sure, most of the time our offices are spic-and-span, but there are moments when things get a little out of sorts. In honor of the disorderly lifestyle, we've composed a less-than-meticulous ranking system so you can see how close you are to chaos:
A mildly disorganized person:
- Is cool if the peas and potatoes mingle and touch on the dinner plate.
- Keeps notes for all subjects in one massive, totally falling apart notebook.
- Likes to scatter all her clothes around the bedroom to get a sense of what's available.
- Has an academic planner filled with notes that look like they were written by Jack Keroac.
A very disorganized person:
- Has cornflakes crumbs at the bottom of his backpack...and can't remember the last time he ate cornflakes.
- Separates books by pile—"read," "not read," and "don't know where this book came from."
Oooh, wait! We forgot one for mildly disorganized:
- Uses a highlighter to take notes in class because she "misplaced" all other writing utensils.
OK, back to completely disorganized:
- Has an academic planner as pristine as the day it was purchased.
A borderline chaotic person:
- Spends multiple hours digging through all the junk in his room, looking for the glasses that are resting on his face.
- Writes homework assignments on her hand and then washes them off before remembering to copy them down on something more permanent.
- Wears mismatched socks.
- Can't remember the last place he saw his academic planner.
A completely chaotic person:
- Mixes up friends thinks she are disheveled her sentences.
-Only follows a schedule of "spontaneity."
- Writes at all different angles in his notebook, flagrantly ignoring those parallel blue lines.
- Academic planner? What's an academic planner? Is that like a counselor or something?
How disorganized are you? Give us some examples!
