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.

Garage Door Halloween Decorations

This Garage Door Halloween Decoration project is such a fun way to make a big Halloween statement without needing to decorate the whole yard. Instead of a small wreath or porch sign, this idea turns the entire garage door into a spooky silhouette scene, complete with witches, pumpkins, trees, cats, and creepy Halloween shapes.

I really like this one because it has huge visual impact from the street. The black silhouettes against the pale garage door make the design easy to see, even from a distance, and it gives the whole house that haunted Halloween feel without being too gory or scary. It is perfect for families who want something dramatic but still fun for trick-or-treaters.

This is also a great project if you enjoy cutting your own shapes from cardboard, poster board, foam board, or lightweight plastic sheets. You could keep the design simple with just bats and pumpkins, or go all out with witches, trees, ghosts, black cats, and cauldrons. Add a few outdoor spotlights or battery lights nearby and it would look amazing at night.

What makes this project especially clever is that the garage door becomes the backdrop, so you do not need a lot of expensive supplies to fill a large space. It is bold, budget-friendly, and very customizable.
