How to organize ridiculous

Each person you meet has a struggle. There are those that struggle with exercise, overspending, or temper. I struggle with clutter. Just as some may have a public goal which declares exercise, I would benefit with an open goal of "getting it together".  Sadly, I am the person who loses keys, school forms and yes--sometimes important mail. I don't like living this way. I declared defeat and went to my favorite place, the library, to research my problem. I checked out four books on organization. One was from the cute guy with the accent: Peter Walsh. I got excited to read "How to organize just about everything."  It begins with obvious concepts of making a to-do list or dealing with mail.  All of it was helpful.

 As I continued to peruse, I came upon some titles of this form: Become a brain surgeon, get into an elite law school or become a talk show host.  The broad sweep of topic spurred me on and I continued to read. Nestled between family calendars and cleaning the closet was the following:  Plan an Invasion, Outsmart pirates, make a jail break, prepare for an act of God. Yeah it turns out an act of God means tornados or fires. It did not mean movie level, finger-of-god stuff. Trust me, I wanted to KNOW how one would survive an F5 tornado or giant-sized Stay Puff Marshmallow man. But, I can also give you directions for writing the great American novel or stopping world hunger.  If you want to break out of jail, you must:

• Be patient
  
• Keep you mouth shut
  
• Know prison routines
  
• Have an accomplice get a job in the U.S. Post Office
