what does it really mean to be organized?

I believe in discpline. I love to be organized.
But what does it really mean to be organized, to me ofcourse,

My thoughts on this subject have been changing over a period of years

Three years ago - I strictly believed in organiging, planning and executing my goals. I believed in monitoring my progress and gave lot of external boost to myself.

Last year - I was afraid that I would forget my tasks/committments and I started making a note of each and every piece of information. I failed to manage these overwhelming list. I looked at myself as a failure.

This year - I started enjoying the 'Let it go' attitude. If something is important it would come back to me. This is not to say that I am letting everything slip out of my hands. No. I am not forcing myself to be too much organized and I am not challenging myself not to forget everything that is happening in this world.

Being Organized now means to me as mental commit. If it is important to me someone above me ( you may call Him God) will send me a reminder. I don't need to hold onto that task/commit- instead I now believe that if it is important it will come back to me on the right time.

Our mind has a great organizer ... I just started using it instead of my paper organizer.
