Organiza...What?

How can entire days pass without me getting anything done? You would think with all of that time on my hands I might accidentally accomplish something. No such luck. If there were a job that paid you for the least amount of work completed in a day, I might actually make lots and lots of money at it. How in the world do people get so much done? I would settle for half or a fourth of what a normal non life skills challenged person can do. I know I need to work on my organizational qualities, but of course that would take some planning and fore thought which obviously just isn't gonna happen. I have tried to read books on organization and I have promptly lost them. I have tried to get my family behind me to help, promising everything under the sun if they would just buckle down. We could have our life in order in no time I tell them. I think they know that I am lying through my teeth. I don't believe it so why should they? The second anyone stops working they all fall in line and stop working also because heaven forbid they do any more work than the one sitting next to them. Or they claim a more important task arose and they just had to take care of it. Or they will whine that if so and so doesn't have to do it then neither do I. I have never been one to have everything neat and tidy but this is ridiculous. If you are one person living alone it is one thing, but you take seven people and all of their crap and all of the things they actually need on a day to day basis it's enough to bury a person both literally and figuratively. I'm thinking I need to just start tossing, which in theory sounds good, but again the fact that I don't have one motivated bone in my body is a hindrance. It sure sounds like I am destined to live a cluttered unhappy existence. Well, I guess it's only another 13 years until Eddie goes to college, maybe I will get around to it then - probably not.
