Get It Together, Keep It Together, Reach for Success

For several years now I've had a real struggle getting my life back together. I have gone through enough trauma that I became progressively more isolated. The one individual that's been my primary relationship has been terribly undependable. His dysfunction has become my dysfunction.  Where I once had control of my environment to create organization, structure, order, routine and self-discipline, I now try to accept what I cannot change. I know what it is I need, I don't know how to accomplish it alone or with out the help and support necessary. This leads to a great loss of hope.

This is a start of what I need in my environment so that I can return to the healthy functions I used to live prior;

ORGANIZATION is required for structure and order.

STRUCTURE and ORDER come from maintained organization.

Maintaining structure and order create ROUTINE.

Maintaining routine develops SELF-DISCIPLINE.

The basic areas to organize, maintain structure and order, create routine and develop self-discipline;

1) Personal environment

2) Personal self

3) Time and tasks

4) Money and other resources

Personal Environment

Home, car, work place, any physical space you take up; keep tidy and clean, maintain in all ways

Personal Self

*Physical; your body: eating/diet, activity/fitness, etc.

*Mental; education/learning, etc.

*Psychological or Spiritual

*Social; relationships, etc.

Time and Tasks

Plan and Schedule; Events and Tasks

Money and Other Resources (i.e.; time, labor, etc.)

Budget; well managed and maintained bills and finances, etc.; what you have, what you owe; what you're saving, what you use, etc. ...Can only commit any resource what you have or have enough of....

Consistency, dependability and balance are all a result of living this way. It's quite simple to accomplish but you have to live it.

If you do not live this way you become ineffective, inefficient and even destructive/counterproductive; 'all over the place'.
