Orderliness

Disorderly people may be careless about their surroundings and methods. Their environments may be untidy and disorganized, and their routines may be inefficient and ineffective, leading to poor results.

Disorderliness can result in overwhelming stress, less relaxation, and prevent you from spending time on the things you wish.

Enemies of Orderliness:

• Too Much: Having too many responsibilities. When you are involved in more events and projects than you have time for, you will tend to have less order because of the inability to manage everything. Putting things in their proper places and in an orderly fashion becomes difficult and results in disorganization and clutter.
• Perfectionism: Orderly people MAY appear to be perfectionists, but they have to limit their standards for perfection. Everything is worth excellence; few things are worth perfection.
• Habits: You are never too old or too set in your ways to improve your orderliness. Anyone can make small adjustments to become more organized.

“Orderliness may not be at the top of the list of requirements for leadership; however, orderliness is the difference between being effective and ineffective with our time and our efforts.” – Paul Weaver
