Now that I'm organized, I'm five times more efficient."  (Bassmaster Elite Pro Aaron Martens reveals 'secrets' of success, Source: ESPN)

"You also might have noticed I'm extremely organized. All right, I love lists. I am devoted to careful planning. If you plan right, you'll eat right. You might also have guessed that I'm a total type-A personality and, to be honest, a bit of a control freak. My freezer is stacked with "banked" meals I've made in advance.

"I can go clean out my drawers, my closets. I can organize my office at home. Something about it is incredibly pleasing to me. I like getting rid of things. I really do.

That's the way I avoid clutter, crammed closets and drawers. It keeps things in balance, and it really works." (Today Show Co-Anchor Matt Lauer, USA Weekend)

Come Friday, or even Wednesday … somebody messes it all up."  (Actress Alicia Silverstone, Source: www.celebrityweek.com)
