Overly Organized?

Have you ever met someone that was so organized that he/she was actually no fun to be around?

While this blog exists to encourage you in getting more organized, for the right reasons, we acknowledge that sometimes, this goal can be taken too far. Examples:

• a person who is so conscious of the condition of her home that you can't relax there for fear of making any kind of (even reasonable) mess
• children who seem stressed and angry because their chore schedule or home expectations are too strict and don't exhibit any creativity or flexibility
• a person who walks around with obvious arrogance because their home, car, life is more organized than the average person
• a person who cannot relax until their entire to-do list is done
• a person who gets angry when something interrupts the work they have done to organize the house (i.e. someone gets sick, some unexpected task comes up, or some project finished won't be enjoyed because the family has to suddenly go away, etc.)

These types of situations no more honor God than living in total disarray. Take a look at God's creation. It's orderly and systematic while still having areas of total abandon, awesome creativity, seasonal unpredictability, etc.

So be careful not to go too crazy with getting organized! Some of you may need to lighten up!
