Get Organized: A Tribute to Aristotle

Fact: Raina Payne has OCD.*
*Meaning she likes to clean and organize

I chose to organize my backpack, because I feel as if even though I use it almost everyday, I overlook it when it comes to cleaning it.

I threw out all of the little papers and wrappers at the bottom. Then organized my side pockets so it only had my ID and my iPod in it. Then I placed my latest script and my keys in the top pocket, my health/beauty(or aesthetics if you so desire). I then placed everything else there was to have in the big pocket.

It was spotless, at least for the rest of the day.

When I get things organized, I feel like everything is organized.

Obviously not everything in my life is organized just because of this one thing; but for a second, I not only feel a sense of cleanliness, but of peace.

That's how my brain works. It's no secret that I'm a control freak; but it's for a different reason than just wanting power. I want for my brain to be at peace.

Everytime I clean or organize, I know how I can relieve stress, or how I can get my brain back to square one instead of freaking out and having it go off in 50 different directions.

I'm all about the organization.
