Today, we all live very busy lives...rushing to get forty hours of work in a week, busy planning in meetings, telephone conferences or classes. Whatever state you are in your life, I can guarantee that you have many responsibilities that you must meet on a daily or weekly basis.

A good man (or person) can take their tasks they have each and every day and organize them by priority and execute them in a timely manner. But even further than just responsibilities, an organized person is the most valuable to an employer. The employer will not have to constantly worry about this person loosing things and will be confident in his abilities to follow through in a task when it is assigned to him.

I personally choose to be an organized person. Being anything less or working in an unorganized situation really bothers me...to the point that I find myself fixing the organization prior too or while working on the other projects that I am working on. Organization is definitely a quality of a well rounded person. Great leaders and organized.

My mom tells me time and time again that I am just like her dad. To be honest, I would have to agree with her! Unfortunately, I never got the chance to meet him, but the description that my mom says about him fits my personality very well. She has always told me that I keep my tech things very organized and take the best of care of all of my little toys. But...other things, such as putting away clothes after doing the laundry is not on my priority list. I just thought that was very funny, and yet how very true!

So, a question I want to ask is this. How are you with organization? How do you function in an unorganized environment?

So what? Someone / something has stumped you. What now?

When I was learning about digital photography, I understood the basics, but still had many questions. "What would this do?" So basically, I tried it. Sometimes it was an interesting result, other times...not so much. I am of the mindset that most learning is done hands on. Individually, you come up with a "real world" scenario...not something that has been planned to trick you. Then, you have to find a solution for that same scenario. You may screw up, but I will guarantee you will never knowingly create that mistake again. Often times with traditional education, there may be some issues applying what you learn in a lecture-based environment. That is why I have come to the conclusion that for me, a hands-on experience is the best way to obtain and apply knowledge.
