Organization Shmorganization

Originally I had a grand plan for this blog being a well organized, flowing, step-by-step guide to leadership. In my head I began to map out the direction I wanted it to go, the layout, the traits and strategies I wanted to discuss and so on. Some might call it a mind map. The problem I have with mind maps is that I never actually write them down or document my mapping in any way. It's sad really, because I absolutely love the idea of organization but cannot for the life of me actually maintain a consistently organized state of being.
Walking down the aisles of school supplies and organizing bins, I get so excited for how clean and clutter-free my life could be if I only had a system. So, I buy the organizers, highlighters and planners with every intention of putting them to good use and I do...for about a week. It is the same thing with my room. Although I own the bins, baskets and drawers, everything still seems to make its way onto the floor or futon. Plus, two days after I put everything in it's proper place I can never remember where that place happened to be. Life would be so much easier in the long run if I were more dedicated to organization.
I have said all of that to say this:

  1. This blog from now on will probably have no proper flow from one topic to another (if it even did in the first place.)
  2. Every person is different and therefore has different methods, styles, strengths and weaknesses.
  3. As a leader, it is important to recognize your personal style and methods of working effectively and strive to turn your weaknesses into strengths.
