Organizational Disorganization

I know. There are whole companies circling wagons right now, ready to send out their best and brightest consultants to tell you how to organize your business and your life. They're going to tell you to simplify, be proactive instead of reactive and think not just two hours away but six months.
My question is simply: why do you need someone TELL you that?
When did we, as a culture, get so lost in the tangled web we weave that we consistently lose the forest for the trees? How many times do I remind myself that my kids DON'T need an iPod or a cell phone, even though everyone around us has one?
When did tin cans for a ten year old lose their telecommunication viability?
It's not that I am snubbing technology. I am snubbing idiocy. Why do you need someone to tell you LESS IS MORE? Didn't your mama explain that early on? A stitch in time saves nine? Do for others as you would have them do unto you?

Simplifying is about more than your wardrobe space. It's a decision to make reality less virtual and more static. It's the choice to say today I will do one positive thing for myself that is completely unselfish.
It's realizing that the tangled web isn't just woven by US and that we need to keep our patterns in flow with the next intricate web. It's knowing our ebbs and flows and working through them to make life WORK FOR US instead of working for life.
Start checking out the webs around you and think first how you best fit into their design...and realize that you are the one making up your own pattern-not a consultant, not your mother, and certainly not your environment. Make the tough choices, don't always do the easy thing and the world will come around once more with you on the sunny side of the street.

Amen. Very nice, I couldn't have said it better myself.
