isn't excessive organizing supposed to be a control thing? i pretty much only ever organize when i'm upset about something, and my psych friend told me it's because it's comforting to control things so completely when other parts of my life are upsetting and outside my power to fix. given that i'm generally such a slob, it really stands out when i'm on a cleaning kick; it might not mean the same thing for someone who actually just likes things to be clean.
This is what I think it is too. I have found that when I am too exhausted to do any organizing of consquence I play a solitaire game - Gaps - all about organizing the cards.
Now, if I could only figure out what I can't control - I thought I controlled the world?
I do it all the time too and I just call it my boarderline OCD. I feel better when things are where and how they should be. Think about it as a masters degree in multitasking. ;)
All that work for a master's degree in electronic communications - which I am now complaining about - when I could have gotten one in multitasking - which I am now doing. UGH!!! The life of an over extended woman.
I totally understand. Right now I am really excited for the wedding in about 5 months but also really looking forward to the day when I don't have to be planning a huge event on top of everything else. Sigh.
