Being Organized

I do not think of myself as being well organized, but my colleagues and friends tell me that I am. I guess I mistake tidiness for organization.  I have a friend who is very organized and has everything in tidy, well designated spots.  Well, I do not always have tidy well designated spots. But more often than not, I can locate what I need, when I need it. 

I chafe at it sometimes, but I often spend hours at work organizing materials for patients. I do this in advance of meeting with patients so when we do meet, I have the materials and resources for them that I need to provide.  It feels wasteful on the front end, but when I meet with patients, breeze through what they need, and do not have to schedule a second meeting, the preparation time spent up front is obviously well worth it.

I sometimes wish I were better organized. There are some aspects of my life that I need to get in control.  But, I guess I function fairly well.
