Chronic disorganization is an extreme condition and is usually long-standing, severely interferes with quality of life and those suffering from this have major resistance to any effort to help them. They possibly lived with hoarders in their childhood and often feel deprived either emotionally or materially. Many times they refuse to see it is a problem, which negatively affects their relationships with family and friends. Many are loners because they are humiliated or embarrassed about their situation. In extreme cases, there are numerous safety and health problems in their home because they are unwilling to let people in to take care of the problems.
Sometimes they recognize the problem and buy organizing books, filing systems and time management systems which just become lost amid all the other clutter. They tend to be packrats and shopaholics, unable to part with things even after they have outlived their usefulness. Usually, every surface <including the floor> is covered with papers and objects they purchased but never even opened, making if extremely difficult to find anything. They have a tendency to lose track of time and become easily distracted, jumping from one project to another without ever finishing anything.
