That's not how it works if you have even a little bit of complexity in your life, which anyone with responsibilities has.
> Did you ever forgot to eat or hug your beloved one and organize a birthday party for your wife / children / whoever?
Some do, yes. And how does one even throw a party without some basic organizations?
But what about the boring parts? Taxes, doctor visits, household, managing finances... Not everyone can afford to thrift through live.
> If one value is punctuality then you will find a natural way to reach this value.
>If the Value is your own and it is real, then you will find various ways to reach it.
People call that organization.
> maybe, these goals are not your own goals.
Staying alive and healthy is may goal, I still sometimes forget some duties which support this, because life is more than what is under my nose.
