What do you like about this subject?

By organizing your home and workspace and having a place for everything in your life it gives you a feeling of freedom that opens you up for a lot of new experiences in life. Your family life is better because you aren't always tied down with have-to things instead of having time for the fun things in life.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

There are so many things that the list is endless. Improvement can be made on a daily basis because things are always changing. I would like to learn more on Corporate Organizing and on software automation in the work place.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Disorganization costs you time and money. People waste about 60% of there lives looking for things that they can't find and 20 cents of every dollar replacing items they have lost. This waste is at home as well as in the work place.
