Did you know that disorganization is this generation’s epidemic?

We now live in an age of distraction where so many things are battling for the control of our attention and resources. With the prevalent information overload, our brains and attention span are beginning to shrink.

 

Did you know that disorganization can be the root cause of stress, illness, ineffectiveness, lack of resourcefulness, poor quality of life and work, loss of resources and even loss of life?

Studies show that depression, anxiety, and other mental/emotional health issues that are related to disorganization have risen at an alarming rate in the past 10 years.

 

Did you also know that there are 2 major types/levels of disorganization caused by a number of factors?

Some of us are dealing with situational disorganization while some others are dealing with chronic disorganization.
