I have problems staying organized, I gave up on things when I had finals this past week. (I take accelerated courses so my school schedule is intense). Anyway, we are moving, so I am just organizing as I pack. I have to work harder in staying organized because i know it does help my depression. When I am semiorganized I don't take the little cant find something as bad.
It is hard when you have kids, i have a 3 year old, and hubby is a great daddy, but has issues with cleaning and putting things were they belong. I think for us, it is going to be a change of lifestyle, no more eating or drinking in the living room, or smoking in any part of the house! We don't smoke around the baby, but it still makes everything in the room nasty.
I do understand how frustrating it can be, but staying organized helps me with my depression. It is hard to get started, but I must follow through for my daughter because it makes me more balanced and the mom she deserves. I also have ADD and organization helps me stay focused, so organization affects me on different levels.
Mindfulness has helped me to cope with the little things that happen in my life. Stressful things happen but it is how we react to them.
