• Stress formal structure, status, rules, and details excessively.
• Put everything in order at all times and make it become a burden. An example is to create a shopping list and cooking recipes in Notion. 
• Clean up emails every day. 
• Clean up each room and feel exposited. 

How to detect that we are over-organized? The simple approach is to feel the process.
