Why is it so hard to get organized?

I think the biggest reason that it's so hard to get organized is that people get overwhelmed by the task that's at hand. Everybody's busy, people put things off, things start to pile up and then the attitude starts to come in of "this is just too much, I can't handle it, I can't do it so I'm not going to do anything about it." And usually by the time a professional organizer comes in, that sense of feeling overwhelmed is so great that the hopelessness and helplessness comes in.
