Sometimes one who loves to organize is so blinded by his or her passion, that the person doesn't bother to address a relative or friend's concerns. How much organizing is too much?
1. When a relative tells you, "All you do is organize, do you do anything else?"
2. When a certain organizing system, product, or tool is causing more problems than solving them.
3. When you spend more time organizing and less time tending to other household tasks.
4. When you avoid doing other more important tasks, so that you can organize less important things right then and now.
5. When your family often complains about your organizing.
6. When everything is already in place; yet, you buy more home organizing things only to let them sit in a corner.
7. When you take it upon yourself to organize others' things without permission while acting very critical of their space.
If you don't want to take a very good talent and turn it into something bad, watch how others react to you. If they are often eye-rolling, disputing with you about what it is that you do, and you find yourself often angry, something has got to change! Bring peace to self and others. Put your organizational skills in check before it's too late!
