I was browsing and came across this interesting article in the Wicked Local-Rochester, Massachusetts, “Got clutter?: Organizing – How much is too much?“  (I also liked that the publication is from my neck of the woods!)

I definitely agree that organizing is often a mode of trying to control an uncontrollable world. I also agree that once you start tripping over the details of your organizational system it is just too much.

However, I’d say that a while generally a simple organized system is best, a well thought out complex system for those of us who are more like the control freak is just fine too, if it functions. I like comprehensive, detailed, informative ”How-Tos” where I can cross off the items I choose not to do. I like to strive  for perfection, and every now and then, we almost achieve it!

I liked this article. Leave a comment and let me know what you think.
