Am I an organised person? – a casual outside observer would probably say not! I do not keep a diary, write shopping lists, set reminders or plan very far into the future and very rarely resort to carrying a handbag or a mobile phone! This ‘apparent’ lack of organisation has been a cause of constant concern to those close to me, one of whom back in the 1980s bought me a Filofax with the notion it would add some sort of order to my life.
