Oh, no, I actually like how organized you are. I feel as the older I get, the more I procrastinate and put things off indefinitely. When it should be the other way around.
I used to be on top of things when I was younger. As I take Friday's off, I finally got around to cleaning up my work bench in the garage after making a mess of things fixing a motor from my garage vac about two months ago. The motor finally died this week as I was hoovering up some tiny washers I'd spilled from a container. I need to buy a new one. I've been meaning to buy a new one for a while.
This, of course, coming from a person who read Kondo's book on tidiness.
Learn to defer, delegate, and dismiss.
Personally, I am nothing like as organised as my posts here might suggest.
Organisation requires planning, mental bandwidth, and is a constant demand on one's system.
If possible, I will sub-contract it - at home, my mother always had a lady come in once a week, and I continue that practice; the money paid out saves me so much hassle, exhaustion, stress - things of which I have too much of in both the personal and professional spheres anyway - that it is well worth it.
Besides, I'm not one of those who is excited by the thought of a clean kitchen, - though I am annoyed and exasperated by a dirty one; if I have done the needful, by the time I am finished, I am exhausted and murderous - better by far to pay someone else - someone reliable - to do it.

With books, it's come down to "Yeah, I'll spend all night reading it. Simple as pie." I then find myself at 3 AM becoming distracted and watching product reviews because YouTube knows me so well. I didn't have this problem in the days of dial up or before the internet was available and when computers were absurdly expensive.
No, if I am up all night reading, I am up reading. That commands my full attention.
Computers don't get a look in, if I am absorbed in a book.
