Everything Out Organizing Personality Style – Eyes On Everything

We all have natural behaviors regarding how we organize time and space.

Sometimes our organizing styles work well for us, but when we do not understand how to work with our natural styles, we can get in our own way and impede our best intentions. Understanding what can work for us and what does not impacts the overall quality of our life.

To begin understanding how Everything Out Styles visually track items, picture a work area where folders are piled high. Projects for the week, or perhaps the month, cover every open space, save the one currently commanded by your computer or pen.

Even when paper piles speak volumes – busy, busy, busy, too much can become overwhelming. So when this style sees every project is important and possesses the highest priority.

Well, first off, someone with an Everything Out™ organizing personality style preference owns this territory. Keeping these visual clues exposed helps her maintain a sense of control over her domain.

When everything is within view, nothing is hidden. Keeping items out helps this style of personality avoid forgetting to do things. And in the absence of a trustworthy task list, Everything Out’s to-do list literally fills space.

Additionally, stress threatens the Everything Out style when they can’t locate what they need. Therefore, many Everything Out style types resist organizing for fear of losing things. ‘I may forget something important!’ she thinks or ‘Why should I put away items when I’m going to use them again anyway?’

As you can see, expansive disarray can produce extraordinary anxiety for others with different styles.  And, disarray stresses others out too. When a shared workspace appears cluttered and disorganized, coworkers and family members can find it stressful and difficult to navigate.

How can an Everything Out change the quality of her experience?

Can an Everything Out organizing style work within what is natural to her style preference to reduce anxiety, stop stressing others out, arrange her space, and create a more enjoyable workflow?

Flow is defined as the “natural, effortless unfolding of life in a way that moves us toward wholeness and harmony” (from The Power of Flow, Belitz, and Lundstrom). The gateway to flow begins with awareness, being present in the moment, and learning to manage your inner experience.
