It's not OCD, It's Organization

Some of my friends tell me that I have OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder), but I don’t think it is that serious. I may be a little obsessive sometimes, but not OCD. I just like to have everything organized and neat. It does take me 8 or so hours to clean my 700 sq ft apartment and I carry hand sanitizer (but who doesn’t). I keep 3 running tasks list at work, all listing the same things, one on my outlook, one as a print out status sheet and one in a pocket calendars. Neither the outlook nor the printout sheet is as compete as my pocket calendar, that one tracks everything. I put in my work tasks, shopping lists, events, classes, homework, phone numbers (especially since my phone deleted all its stored numbers in a freak occurrence a month ago), birthdays, pass codes, you name it – it goes in my calendar. It makes me feel more secure, and like my phone or wallet, I can’t leave home without it, I have to go back to get it because I feel lost without it. I think I got this habit from my mum. I think we all pick up habits from our parents. She always has one and when I turned 16 and got a job, she started giving me one a year. Since I have moved out of the house and started a career of my own, I have started to return the favour. Gadda love my mum . I am always keeping my eyes open for a good one to buy her, especially since Christmas is right around the corner. Since I spend a lot of time online (not cuz I am crazy…it’s part my job…online research) I came across a great site that has some really good deals on pocket calendars, which is a good thing, because this holiday I am going to be broke. They have so many different kinds and sizes that I know I will find not only the perfect one for me but also for my mum. The site is easy to navigate and is well organized, unlike some sites you visit.
