Also, similar to Saden, if my electronic data isn't in order I get antsy, yet I'm not obsessed with all things electronic.

I have a pretty meticulous routine at night time as far as getting ready for the following day. Every night before I go to bed, I make sure the next morning's clothes are folded and laid out for me (regardless if it's gym or work clothes). I also have to make sure the coffee is set to brew. Despite the world's attachment to electronic gadgets, I'm one of the few people I know who still use a handwritten day-planner. So most importantly, in the last 10 to 20 minutes before I go to bed, I make a detailed to-do list for the following day in my planner. I find that having that handwritten outline to start the day is a huge motivator.

So that's me and my touch of OCD.
lol your touch seems to be a firm grasp

I guess that I'm a sucker for the sink as well.. if I see something in it I'll take care of it.. but it's nothing for me to have like 6 diff cups that I use for water on my nightstand either

I never lay out my clothes even when I know what exactly I'm going to wear.. with my organization I know where it is and don't want to lay it out anywhere

the obvious exception being if it's dress clothing in which I obviously leave out or treat beforehand

the written planner is something that I don't let go of either.. it may not be done meticulously or even on time but I make it accessible and my employees are accountable for what's in it

as far as a personal planner, don't have one
