Positive Attitude Tips for Organized Living gives a more detailed exploration of how your attitudes, values, and beliefs might prevent you from organizing your life.

Organizing your life means that you will have to create some boundaries between your life and other people in your life

Assertiveness training is a way to do just that.

Learning how to be assertive requires that you closely examine your beliefs about yourself and your beliefs about responsibilities and obligations to others.

Sometimes learning how to be assertive requires that constraining beliefs need to be reframed so that your personal rights and obligations take a higher priority.

It is nearly impossible to lead an orderly life if you are always yielding to the rights, needs, and wants of others.
