Organized By Helen Ellis Summary

This memoir by Helen Ellis is about her story from being a slob to become a more organized person and how it had an influence on her marriage. She starts out by giving examples of how disorganized and messy she was. She says that one time she had a panty liner stuck in between her shoulder blades before she went on a date, her date peeled it off and she mentions how he wasn’t the man she married. What I grasped from her specifically pointing out that he wasn’t the man she married, was that her being messy may have curved guys away or turned them off. She then contrasts that with the fact that even though she was messy, her husband accepted her for who she is.
I think what triggered her to want to become a more organized person was her insecurities
