Organized versus Creative

Here's something you frequently hear people say. "I'm too creative to get organized. If I get organized, I won't be spontaneous."

Why on earth do we think organization and creativity are completely opposite? Are organized people dull? Absolutely not. Yet, somehow we all picture the organized woman in a modest blue suit and white blouse, quietly getting everything done without ever being noticed.

I think authors are probably the most creative people in the world, but they would never get a novel finished if they weren't organized. Just picture John Grisham always coming up with these great story lines, yet never being organized enough to write them down on paper. No best sellers for him!

Let's get our act together. This can open the door to some much creativity you won't believe it.
