Boy in the Tree Poll (From Podcast Question)

Is Booth's theory right? Do boys organize their cd's organically and girls alphabetically? Answer the poll!

nope...no organisation..ever..whats the point when they just get messed up when you are in a hurry!!!

I don't organise them at all. The only organising that I do is that I group the same artists DCs together.

ok... well i didn't vote in the poll because none of those options fit for my system! i organize my cds both alphabetically and organically...

firstly, i have contemporary music separate from classical/instrumental music...
-all classical/instrumental music is alphabetical except if its an instrumental soundtrack.
-soundtracks with instrumental music are grouped in classical/instrumental ...they are simply kept separate from the other classical music.
-within contemporary music, my favourite band (U2) i have all of their albums and singles grouped together in chronological order based on when they were released.
-the rest of contemporary music are in alphabetical order.

key components of my system:
ALL cds go back in the original case... what is the point in organizing if the cases are all mixed up?!
ALL cds must be filed in the same direction so that i can read the titles easily... again, what is the point of organization if you can't read the titles?

there you go... a system that blends the best of both worlds. and shows just how uptight i am !!

hmmm..im suspicious that ehbee is in fact monica from friends!!!..lol

ha ha ha, is that a compliment magic??
for the record, i don't have 11 sets of towels, but i fully admit that i inadvertently tidy spaces without realizing that i'm doing it.

i've been told that i need help. i feel i'm just organized.

When she comes over to visit me, she always glances at the dishes in my sink as if she wants to clean them.

Just thought I would share.

its because i DO want to clean them.

no organization whatsoever for me...I'm a rebel that way

and ehbee..you should come visit me for a couple of weeks...I can feed and house you free of charge....lol

I organize EVERYTHING!

I look at it as being a good mom, student and teacher. There would be able to keep the schedule that I do if I was organized (and then some). I was the mom of twins the first time I became a mom, and organization was a survival skill. The student part of me wouldn't be able to work on, much less complete, a PhD program if not organized. The science teacher in me also has to be organized because I have to know exactly where chemicals and equipment is at all times.

I know I need help! But therapy isn't working!

I don't really organise mine at all,with my DVD's all the ones from the same tv series are grouped together but thats about as far as my organising goes.

I only have a few CD's, like under 10, so no need to organize them. They all fit on a very little cubby shelf I have. Now dh on the other hand, well, he has hundreds of them and they are all over his computer room. Drives me crazy.

Fab, say it isnt' so ...
I am a organization guru, only one thing is better than a good organization session

I organize them alphabetically. But I have a place where I put the two or three favourite CDs (at that moment) - in front of the alphabetical organized ones - so that I have them handy if I need them.
And like ehbee I think it's important to have them in the original cases and filed in the same direction.
btw, that drives me crazy with some books. My Kathy Reichs books for example are not all of the same publishing company, so you can't always have them filed in the same direction. That's so annoying...
