Part III (I Know I Used To Be Crazy Writing Those Long Titles, But It Is Going To Stop. Now. Really. Seriously)

So I left off yesterday with two options for creating a remedy for disorder. The first option, which was leave things alone, was not an option in my book (no I don't have a book, it's just an expression). So we are stuck with the second option. The one that involves working to accomplish a solution. I know I'm harsh and unsympathetic (get over it!), but this is what needs to happen.

The solution I offered is the one which I believe to be the best option. Working toward order can help relieve unnecessary stresses that are laid on a group because of one (or many) entity's laziness. So this blog is going to try to describe how to integrate order into a situation that needs it (which will be most situations). The integration involves three steps (I could have explained it in two, but that is not recommended by the great expositional experts). These steps are, in order:

1. Realization and Definition of Expectations
2. Methods for Accomplishing These Expectations
3. Implementation

Simple enough, right? Well, it should be. There are innumerable resources for creating order in our day and age. But we need to have a change in our hearts and our attitudes for it to work. We need to want organization. Otherwise, it will be extremely hard to obtain it. If a person or a group is content with their chaos affecting others in negative ways, and likes things disorderly, it's hard to convince that certain object that it does want change.

So, let's discuss the steps.
1. If realizations are not defined, goals will not be met. This is because these goals are virtually, or even realistically, non-existent. It's like using a map to get somewhere, but not knowing where you are supposed to be going. So, it is necessary to define expectations.
It is also helpful to set realistic and specific goals. Rather than making vague statements such as "We'll get this done sometime in the near future," or "We want to establish organization", concrete decisions should be made. Don't be afraid or timid of setting real-time and realistic goals (just because they are realistic doesn't make them easy ;)).

2. The best intentions can rapidly change into the worst if the end is not in mind. You know what I'm talking about. It's happened to you in a conversation before. You start off talking about something, with the intent of getting to a certain point, and an hour later you are talking about something completely different, and you never got to your point. Whether you distracted yourself or someone else was not sharing your goal with you, you failed. This can happen to the best-laid plans, as easily as it does to a conversation. All involved must have a goal in mind, and know how they are going to realize it.

3. This is the most rewarding and easy to write about step. This is when the fruits of all that hard labor (it really was hard work, wasn't it?) pays off. Enjoy it, but don't relapse into disorder. It's easier to relapse than to maintain organization, but I promise that it will be better for everyone in the long run if you keep everything orderly.

So, this is probably the last post that I will make on ideal order. I may be back soon, or I may not, depending on if I get inspired to write about another topic soon.

Bye for now (I used a lot of parentheses today, didn't I?),
