When I came to the UK, I had expected my tendency to be unorganised to be an outlier. I was wrong. Being late and unorganised is as common in the UK as it is in America, from the bus schedules to the trains, to even getting paid.
But that being said, just because a lot of people in the UK and the systems here seem unorganised at times does not mean I should not aim to improve my organisation. I am proud that since coming here I sort of been forced by circumstance to have some form of organisation, from always ensuring I have copies of important documents to having physical calendars and writing down my work schedules.
Let this be a lesson: just because people are unorganised or messy around you does not mean you have to be.
