Sustaining Your Organizing Efforts

It’s Not the How, It’s the Discipline

Through his own obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) Justin Klosky created the O.C.D. Experience. I asked Justin;

One of the things you mention is the discipline part of it which is always difficult for all of us to stay at. But we get this burning platform and we make the change but we go to that great word sustainability, what are some of the secrets in sustaining organization?

Justin: That’s a fantastic question. Sustaining anything is about not only continuing to build upon it but also continually reevaluating what you want to sustain. In a perfect world we’re all growing and evolving consistently, and that also applies to business. You always want your business and the systems in your business to constantly be evolving to support the growth of your company. So in order to maintain that and keep it up, you have to reevaluate where your company is going, where you want your company to be going, where you want your processes to be going, how you want people to recognize what you’re doing in the world that you’re operating in, and then start figuring out how to sustain it based off of the constant change that’s happening. So it’s always evolving.

Joe: What’s your biggest challenge of staying organized?

Justin: Believe it or not my biggest challenge in staying organized is having patience for the other people around me who operate in my space. Let’s just say my wife, you know. No people are the same and you have to if your sharing a space with somebody – and again this is my personal challenge – you have to be flexible and willing to bend your way of living. So for me my biggest challenge is understanding that not everyone wants to operate the way that I operate, and not everyone wants to live the way that I live. And if I’m going for example with my wife, share a space with her, I have to find a common ground and a common solution that works not just for me but for her while still maintaining my sense of order.
