This is the third of five blog posts about organization and how I got some, against all expectations. They started life as an attempt to get my thoughts in order for a session on efficiency in bookselling that I’m presenting next week and got out of hand. I assure you nobody is more surprised than I am that I’m hosting a session about organization, but these posts explain how that happened. I think. (Though the session is specifically about efficiency and bookselling, these posts address efficiency and organization more broadly. I’ll post notes from the session later in the month.) The first post is here and the second post is here.
After the capturing and the list-making came some self-absorption. I found myself wondering why I hadn’t been able to do these fairly easy things before. I also found that I was very curious about what it meant to be organized, since I had obviously been wrong about that for years.
I’ve spent my entire life calling myself a messy person, because I have been. The messier things got, the more anxious I got, the worse it got. Because I had been that way forever, raging against that tendency seemed futile, so I learned to step over piles on the floor.

Placing after a jump because it’s long.
