Top Excuses For Not Being Organized, Are You Guilty?

January 30, 2020 by Shellie Wilson

We all know becoming better organised remains a key to victory in terms of organising our personal life combined with our possessions. However common excuses offer a simple way of negating the effort required to create a sense of effective organisation. The top excuses encountered range from modified mental as well as emotional excuses. Combine the inability to visualise goals with a defeatist attitude, and you’ll start to recognise these excuses sound all too common. Learning the top excuses allows you to create a valuable proactive defence, ensuring you complete your organisation attempts every time.

Failure to see goals

Not seeing the organisational goals or how they will become accomplished leads to a lack of imagination that disallows organisation to occur. The mind fails to see positively the results of organising so a lazy complacency sets into the conscious mind. It’s important to see the end result.

The attitude “Somebody else remains better at organising than me”

This attitude exists as a referral system that takes responsibility and passes it onto somebody else. Referral remains a chief excuse for becoming redundant about organising. In essence it’s easier to make someone appear better in your own eyes, if it involves you doing less work.

Getting organised is hard work

Getting organised will only mean another mess later on once the organisational sparkle wears off. A natural entropic state gets created through the physical act of organisation. The mind creates many barriers yet the physical process remains extremely easy to complete. Keeping organised does require maintenance, to avoid the entropy creeping in a preferred direction of disorganisation.

To live in disorganised state reflects an inner creative spirit

This prime example of not becoming organised reflects a person’s ability to define their existence as artistic in nature. Living in a disorganised mess allows the excuse of creativity to interfere with efficiency or organisation. Challenging this misconception remains difficult as the core perception here involves changing a personal belief.

Emotional as well as mental states

Stating illness, depression, anxiety, and vocal frustrations connected with wasted money may seem to offer ideal top excuses for not becoming organised. However these emotional mental states effectively creating mind barriers to the start of the organising process. Organisation requires effort. Break the mind barriers to start reorganisation simply through the act of starting. The thoughts drag out the negativity into physical complacency.

Once you recognise the top excuses for remaining inactive, whether in yourself or other people, you can begin to negate the justification for doing nothing. Becoming better organised results in a more efficient lifestyle. Creating a streamlined mode of living helps achieve a greater positive experience. Superior organisation equals supplementary time for social, as well as leisure events. Less time’s wasted in your daily life searching for lost items. Every place has a unique easily identifiable home, providing you avoid the top excuses for not organising yourself, as well as listening to those around you.

My Craft Desk Glow Up

I just bought this floral desk pad for my craft workspace, and I honestly can’t stop staring at it—it’s that pretty. I was long overdue for an upgrade. I’d been using one of those standard green self-healing mats from the craft store forever. While they do the job, let’s be real—they’re not exactly inspiring. I found myself feeling a bit “meh” every time I sat down to work, and as someone who lives for colour, texture, and creative energy, that just wasn’t cutting it anymore so I went on an Amazon search.

Enter this gorgeous floral desk pad. From the moment I unrolled it, I was in love. The design is soft and feminine without being too busy—just a lovely, calming mix of vintage florals that fits right in with my “current” creative vibe. Let’s be fair, I may be on a different vibe next month.

It adds a splash of personality to my workspace, and it honestly makes me want to sit down and create. That little shift in mood? Totally worth it.

Functionally, it’s spot on. The surface is smooth and easy to work on—perfect for my laptop, sketching, journaling, or even placing my cutting tools when I’m working on papercrafts. The anti-slip base keeps everything in place, even when I’m sliding papers or tools around. It’s generously sized, too, which means I don’t feel cramped while I work. It is not a self-healing mat, so for that you will need something else. 

If you’re like me and your desk is not just a workspace but your creative sanctuary, this pad is such a beautiful upgrade. It’s the kind of little detail that sparks joy every single time I walk into my studio. Whether you’re crafting, journaling, designing, or even just using it as a stylish mousepad, I couldn’t recommend it more. This one’s a keeper!
