Did you get a perfect score and answer "no" to every question? Look us straight in the eyes and say that. If you are like the rest of us, you probably answered "yes" to four or more questions. Not to worry. You knew from the start that you had work to do on your organization skills anyway. Many of us secretly wish that we were more organized in our daily lives. How many times have you said to yourself, "Tomorrow, I am going to "? The difference between those who are organized and those who are not is a choice. If you have made up your mind that you are going to be organized, then you are already on your way to a more productive daily routine.
