Executive Dysfunction
Other people seem to do things so much easier than we do. They accomplish goals with aplomb. Or as Judith Kolberg puts it, they have a way of getting “from here to there” with ease while we Messies struggle to finish up multiple half done projects leaving the pieces cluttering up our homes and offices.
But why the difference?
Judith Kolberg, expert on chronic disorganization, shared some of the reasons in a recent teleclass with me. In a nutshell she suggests that those who accomplish goals easily do so because they can:
- Organize in an efficient and systematic way.
- Can plan and achieve a goal.
- Have a working memory
Among the suggestions we discussed is to get outside help when necessary, write and refer to steps crossing them off as you go, posting priority goals in a prominent place until achieved, and, of course, using the Messies Anonymous battle cry habit of STOW AS YOU GO!
