listersgirlNow this is a Friday Five I can really get into...
1. Would you consider yourself an organized person? Why or why not?
I think I am. I mean, I know I come off that way, but some of that is just surface organization and some of that is just lack of ability to watch other people be unorganized. Sometimes, though, I feel like I can't organize myself enough to sit upright.
2. Do you keep some type of planner, organizer, calendar, etc. with you, and do you use it regularly?
I did all through school, because it was full of deadlines and rehearsals. These days, though, my life is pretty routine (which is another topic all together), so there's not really much point. I am a devoted listmaker, though, because I have a remarkable ability to forget about things I don't want to do.
3. Would you say that your desk is organized right now?
Definitely. I can't work if there's random crap all over my desk. I mean, my desk isn't empty or anything -- in fact it's covered with piles of CDs -- but each of those piles mean something specific, and ideally by the end of the day each pile will be dealt with and shuffled off to a more permanent home. I think clutter makes me somewhat anxious and mildly panicky.
4. Do you alphabetize CDs, books, and DVDs, or does it not matter?
Maybe I'm just a dork, but it matters very much to me that the alphabet is well utilized in my house.
5. What's the hardest thing you've ever had to organize?
Social events kill me -- the whole "when can you be there?" and "where will we meet?" and "what are we doing?". Exhausting.
