Wow!! I thought I was the only woman on the face of this planet that didn’t have it together. When you look at some women, they seem to be so perfect, with their hair always neat and every strand in place, notes are always clean and together, rooms tidy and clothes folded up, I can go on and on.
I on the other hand was always the opposite of them, my hair wasn’t always so tidy, and neither was my room and my entire life. You see? what I discovered was that my disorganized nature reflected in my everyday life. I realized then that I was never early to events, never prioritized and was basically disorganized in several ways.
I’ve participated in a couple of stage plays and something we did often was to organize chaos scenes and rehearse them so they look natural to the audience. The madness in everyone’s life has to be organized as if it were a play and the world is the audience.
What I needed to do was to understand my problem and then I found out I’m not the only one in it. I started making a conscious effort to tidy things up for myself, cos nobody’s gonna do it for you. What I have come to realise is that our immediate environment is a reflection of who we truly are as women; the way we choose to decorate, the kind of food we cook, the way we bring up our kids and our attitude to life in general, they all reflect the inner beauty and power of a woman.
I often asked myself these questions
“How would you like to find that thing or place when you return?”
“Don’t you wanna make it easy to find items you’re looking for?”
So every time you get tired and lazy to pick up that piece of paper on the floor, remember these questions.
There’s a popular belief that the only time a woman gets to rest is when she’s dead. We women are always busy. We have to look after our husbands and kids; cleaning up after them, feeding them and still have a 9am-5pm job. It sure isn’t an easy job to do what we do as women, but what can we do? We aint gonna rest until we’re dead so we might as well get our acts together and organize our daily madness plus remember that as you lay your bed, so shall you lie on it.
