    Interesting read on the price you pay for disorganisation

      We have all suffered consequences-lost time, lost objects, lost opportunities-when we were not as organized as we could have been. One of our blog readers, Daisy Franklin, has submitted her "confession" as she struggles to find balance with a home office.

      My two pence on time management - and its annoying cousin procrastination :-) - would be:
      All behaviour serves a purpose. A good purpose. Often to protect us from something unpleasant or downright painful. So, if we procrastinate, instead of trying to get organised, we should ask a quesiton first.
      How do we benefit from procrastinating? What's in it for us?
      And once we identify what the benefit is, we then need to ensure that we preserve it through other kinds of behaviour. Only then - when we remove the good part of the bad behaviour (e.g. procrastination) - can the bad behaviour be changed for good.
      Or, in other words, we only fall back into bad habits when there's something good we need/get from it. So, eliminate the good-factor and you'll be free from a bad habit.
