I am a very organized person, so one thing that was really challenging for me in the past was when I lived with my

brother

while we were both attending college. I love my

brother

, but he is not an organized person, so living with him as a roommate was tough. The way I overcame

this

challenge was

first

by having a heart-to-heart with my

brother

. I told him it bothered me when he put dishes away in random cupboards rather than following the organizational system I had created. I keep different types of dishes in different cupboards;

otherwise

, I can never find anything. At

first

, I was worried my

brother

would think I was overreacting for bringing

this

up, but he didn’t. I think it’s because I explained why it bothers me that he would randomly put things away: it confused me, and it took extra

time

to find anything. I even added that if my tasks were streamlined and took less

time

, that would mean I would have more

time

to spend with him, my beloved

brother

! I think putting a positive spin on things always helps. I like to compliment someone,

then

criticism,

then

another compliment. If you give criticism, sometimes people do not react well, and the problem only becomes worse because they refuse to see your side of it. So, my people skills and communication skills helped me overcome

this

challenge. I

also

showed my

brother

what the inside of my dresser drawers and my closet looked like. I explained the logic behind each organizational choice and pointed out that it did not take me very long to find a specific outfit.

In contrast

, it took him a very long

time

to find his favourite clothing items because they were always on the floor, on a chair, or shoved into a random place in the closet. My

brother

may not have re-organized his own closet, but he did agree to follow the organizational system I had created for the spaces we shared, including the kitchen.

This

made my life less stressful, and I think it saved us both

time

in the end! Plus, my

brother

wasn’t mad at me for sharing my concerns because I did it cordially and professionally.
