Do you ever get too organized?

A few weeks ago I purchased a "as is" closet organizer from Lori G. I love it. Space to fold things and for shoes. Over the weekend, I looked high and low for my pink sweater. What on earth did I do with it??!!  Found it this morning neatly folded in my new organizer. So much for being organized. LOL!  Last month, I couldn't find my reading glasses. Looked all over. My son found them while unloading the dishwasher in the utensil holder. We had a good laugh!

Re: Do you ever get too organized?

I've never been too organized at home; it's a constant challenge for me. At my office, however, I can't function if everything is organized! At work, I must have piles and piles of "mess" out in order to find anything and work productively. People laugh at my office.

Too organized?  Are you kidding?  Have you ever read any of MY posts?  I can find most things (if even time) but ........

 

I even bought some tags (they are amazing) they keep track or help you find things......but.....wait for it.....I can't find them!  The box of them....I mean...for real....

 

I found something similar but better.  I think I'll buy them.  Now if I can just keep track of them long enough to put them on my 'stuff' I'll be OK.

 

Now where was that order form and what were they called?  Hummmmmmm

Re: Do you ever get too organized?

I seem to have been born organized and it is a timesaver to always know where things are.  Although in the past I have been accused of recycling newspapers too early in the day.  Sheeze the things DHs complain of.

Re: Do you ever get too organized?

I usually having my reading glasses hanging around my neck.  Why?  Because if they're not there I forget where I put them!  Smiley Happy

 

I'm curious.  Did your reading glasses go through the dishwasher and, if so, were they usable afterwards?  LOL at your story.

I had organized a Linen closet, once, it lasted 1 month!...Oh, that was two shelves out of four.  I always know what is in the mess.   My DS says, if there is a flat spot anywhere, Mom puts stuff on it!--------ted

@AnikaBrodie

 

Reading glasses - nope, they did not survive.  Just a cheap plastic pair.

Re: Do you ever get too organized?

There is a 100% zero chance that I will ever be too organized.  I am fortunate that I have a Very sharp memory and can remember where I put things.  The only time I lose something is when I lose something.

 

example....a glove falls out of my pocket and I didn't notice.  I will remember where I put the gloves, but it is truly lost.

 

And no, my things do not look organized either.
