I've been wondering how many of you prefer everything perfectly organized and how many aren't able to maintain organized environment (or maybe even don't want to do so). I'm one of those people who absolutely needs organized environment (actually not only at home but everywhere) but personally I have hard time maintaining it. I believe the main reason is problem with categorizing things, and then when I finally do that I start questioning what to do with all the categories. My husband (and my parents in the past) kept telling me, "just do it, don't think about it". The problem is. when I "just do" it once without putting any thought to it the organization system might stop making sense to me tomorrow and everything will end up lying all over the place again. The problem is - I function much better in organized environment (unlike my husband who can function fine in absolute chaos...I guess that's the ADHD thing ), kids are also much calmer and happier in organized spaces...
Anyway it appears that lots of people on the spectrum (unless they have been well trained, not necessarily by specialists but let's say, by parents) have problems with organization. It might be true not only for spaces but also for lives in general.
Would you agree or disagree? and how is it for you?
