Routine vs disorganisation?

Post Reply New Topic

I wonder how many of us , like me, do better with a good amount of routine. However due to the EF issues(Asperger's and schizoaffective negatively affecting that in my case) are more than a little disorganised .

I like to be organised but sometimes it's beyond me. In school my reports said that I needed help to organise my things so I wouldn't lose them. But I never received that help.

When I went to uni, there was no one to urge me on to get organised with my work so I had to learn the hard way and do it all myself.

I have a filing cabinet at home for my paperwork and I thank my parents very much for buying it. Otherwise I'd be buried under a pile of paper in my tiny house.

Organization is literally the goal I set for myself 2020. Already starting to work on it now because I take my new years resolutions seriously. The reason, I have disorganization from add and bpd; but I'm happiest on my own made routine and set-up. So yeah.

Sums me up perfectly. Routine is quite important to me, but I am very disorganised so probably wouldnt look from the outside like I am any routine or organised state.

I have routines of sorts, but they're not necessarily always the best/most helpful routines. It's also something I'm starting to work in 2020.

Routine doesn't make me organized, it makes me more disorganized and stressed out even.
Most routines consists of me processing emotional obstructions that may lead to procrastinating or chasing time tables without the time to reorganize.


As per upbringing, the household doesn't encourage me to be organized as long as someone else is dwelling the same spaces as I'm.
Most especially with those who never seem to respect my boundaries -- which probably consists most of my life as to why I don't trust to leave things lying around and gave up organizing altogether. So I want my own damn room so badly...

I would've been more organized if only I have a space exclusive to myself, with full permission of me able to discard and keep things, where and where not to put things, rather than having to take account of another who might've otherwise.
I'm so sick of guilty conscience telling me to take the damn account of others -- I'd rather have things thrown, kept and placed on my own terms and no emotional obstructions needed to be dealt with.

Routine is how I compensate for being a scatterbrain.

I'm extremely disorganized but I do have several routines I stick to that I hate getting disrupted, now if only I could make organizing part of my routine, it'd be perfect.

My dad calls my daily method of operation "organized chaos".
