O.C.D.

I believe I have O.C.D. "Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is an anxiety disorder marked by the presence of obsessions and compulsions severe enough to interfere with the activities of daily life. Obsessions are repeated, unwanted thoughts often related to fears of contamination. Compulsions are repeated, purposeless behaviors."

I'm not here to tell you what my habits are that are pretty much signs that I have O.C.D., except maybe for this one close-to-normal example of piling things to bring about organization in one's life.



This my work table at my aunt's place. I don't really live here so I'm staying with my aunt and using whatever furniture she has available for me. It looks really messed up but I know exactly where an item is and why it is placed there.

A) Books behind the bags are those that I don't really use at the moment. I am in the process of coming out with a book and this pile is a reminder that I have to work on this goal when I do have the time. But it is not as immediate as the piles I have in front of the TV. These are my current must-do things:
B) One pile of books and materials is for my Furniture Construction class.
C) Another pile is my Ergonomic class and Poi pile. I placed them in just one pile because there is just not enough space on my table. Besides, they have a few items only plus my classes for both are on consecutive days.
D) One pile is my library pile. These are books and research stuff I do and have to do at the library.
I assign specific days in a week to work on these separate piles.
E) Lastly, the pile closest to me is just my daily planner. It's something I have to look at everyday so I don't miss out on other important things to do.
