They suggest that addiction to Org Porn can lead to "feelings of inadequacy, binge spending on organizational products, and even marital discord."
If you suspect you're an org porn addict, "Remind yourself that org porn is merely entertainment and an escape that few if any actually achieve. Reality is something entirely different." And, I guess, stop watching so much Home & Garden TV.
Org Porn, according to authors Alicia Rockmore and Sarah Welch, is:
that glossy, airbrushed fantasy world where everything is pristine, serene and perfectly in order, sort of Playboy, but with chore charts and name-plated cubbyholes...
It's everywhere you look these days: in magazines, coffee table books, advertisements, and TV shows...
beautiful images of meticulously organized rooms, perfectly displayed collections, color-coordinated closets, flawless family schedules, pristine kitchens, tidy mud rooms, and picture-perfect work spaces

*looks at the flowers she got for Valentine's Day that she has yet to dispose of and that have since dried and are leaving crispy petals all over the desk* Not a problem in my house, that's for sure.
