Has anyone found "disorganization" to be a general problem plaguing so many random things in life?

I've found it to be a worse problem than a bunch of other things, particularly because it's not viewed as a "sin" or "unethical", it's just "being messy" or an "an expression of the creative lifestyle".

Whereas dirty things are thought to possibly create illness, being a little "disorganized" isn't viewed as being that harmful. It's not like people are doing drugs or something.

I've found it to be enormously harmful for this reason that it's not viewed as being a problem, so it can just grow into all these unrelated problems.

I don't know what would be a good example; maybe there's the growing national debt, with no real plan on how to fix it. It seems like either no public debts (that in a way "no one" is responsible to pay back) should have been taken on, because there are simply incentives to take on the debt until the government crashes, it seems.

The quote was shared I think that a "disorganized space is a disorganized mind". I've come to believe this in my experience; it's a tough call sometimes because some people live "messy" lives without it causing visible harm. But often physically disorganized spaces lead to lost items, wasted time, disorganized ways of living and choices, and so on.

Maybe it's why places like the military want their soldiers to make their bed and dress sharply and all that; in themselves, sure, maybe one could fight effectively and still be messy. But it seems like it creates a mentality of organized living.

Has anyone else found "disorganization" in general to be a problem, and if you got things organized, how did you bring things in to order?
