Chronic disorganization (慢性失序症) occurs when one is habitually disorganized over a long period, which means the person is constantly unsystematic in how he conducts life and business. One suffering from this problem may find relief in the fact that it isn't actually a disease or even an "official" disorder. It's the continued lack of organization in one's life.
Someone may become addicted to collecting a certain thing yet never organize the collection as it grows out of control. This can especially be a problem for those with a lot of time and money at hand. Yet the problem can be serious for any type of person in a wide variety of situations.
One's personal attitude can often be a key factor explaining why the chronic disorganization exists. Once the attitude of acceptance about being a "slob" is in someone's head, it's hard to remove. If someone tells himself that he is a slob, he will likely live up to that self-image created by him or by those around him.
More often than not, a person is conscious of the disorder of chronic disorganization only when it starts to negatively affect relationships with his friends and family members. Everybody may become affected by this situation, especially those sharing living places together.
The National Study Group for Chronic Disorganization (HSGCD) recommends that one get help through a professional organization. The study found that all of the subjects in the study had problems with making decisions. There were various reasons given for this problem of decision-making. Among them were fears and prioritizing issues. Research is ongoing for the link between problems in decision-making and chronic disorganization.
Chronic disorganization often begins with situational disorganization, something most people experience at some point. A person who has lost someone significant to him such as a spouse may start to be troubled by disorganization. Someone who has experienced changes in life and in his career tends to let things like organization and order fall by the wayside. However, one doesn't instantly have chronic disorganization.
"If you're going through hell, keep going." That's an old saying that's true about one's struggles with chronic disorganization. Every person has the power to change within himself. It's a matter of staying organized, one day at a time. Those who have left chronic disorganization in the past have often done so by promising to stay organized simply for that single day.

The Lost Rules of Etiquette
Etiquette, or good manners, used to be the glue that held society together. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Sadly, these days it has mostly gone by the wayside. This list is several best rules of etiquette that have now disappeared.
Opening the Door
In days gone by, a gentleman would always open doors for ladies. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} This has now almost entirely disappeared-and it is not entirely the fault of the men. I have seen women laugh at men for opening a door for them. They seem to be confusing manners with chauvinism（大男子主义）.
Writing Thank-You Notes
In days gone by, whenever a person received a gift, they would write a thank-you note as soon as possible. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Parents would sit children down after a birthday or Christmas and coach them in their first thank-you note. It is a shame that gift giving has now become a virtual obligation and the idea of a thank-you note would be laughed at.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#}
We seem to have completely lost the concept of correct timing when it comes to parties these days. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} After all, a party normally has a guest of honor-this is usually the oldest woman present. It was considered extremely rude in the past to leave a party before the guest of honor-and once the guest of honor left, it was a signal to all that they should begin their on preparations to leave.
A. Arriving on Time. B. Leaving at the Right Time. C. People leave with various excuses. D. It enabled people to get on well with each other. E. This rule was true even if the giver was a relative. F. It could be the lady they were driving, or a stranger. G. We've thrown away the concept of a guest of honor at will. |
