I'm always impressed with those people who are able to be disciplined enough to follow routines and schedules. Additonally, I think that I'd have more free time (freedom!) without guilt, if I could actually manage to have one. But it's just not my nature I guess. I love designing a routine --6:00 wakeup, 7:00 workout, 9:00-1:00 work on my business, etc. but after a week or so I feel too contrained and rebel. On other boards that I'm on, many ladies swear by the Flylady system and I signed up for it but cancelled after two days because I just couldn't take it.

THe only thing that works for me is to incorporate one little thing at a time - usually tacked on to something else I'm already doing and eventually it just becomes a natural habit. For example - while my morning coffee is brewing I force myself to unload the dishwasher.

But I wouldn't necessarily call myself unorganized - at the end of the day I've usually done what I've needed to do. It just wasn't done in a systematic sort of way.

You?
