I always get picked to do organization activities and then get told I’m being nit-picky. That’s my absolute least favorite part when it comes to work stuff lmaoooo

Ah, sort of like they'll pick you to do something involving organizing, you want to do a thorough/correct job of it and you'll leverage that part of you that is very good at that, but then once they see what you're doing they'll turn around and be like, "Whoa, I know we asked for it to be organized but not that organized"? 😊

That sounds frustrating. If they're trusting you to do the task and assigning it to you, it would be nice if they'd give you the freedom to carry it out effectively. If they have a problem with what you're doing, maybe an option would be to ask for clarification beforehand of what they want you to do or what level of organization they're looking for, and then they can't complain if you do what they've asked.

Thanks for the thoughtful response! I try to make sure I have guidelines prior to beginning the project because I have been known to get distracted by finer details. Maybe I need to start giving them a number system of how organized you want this to be on a scale of one through 10 😂

That sounds like it could work if you're using the same number scale. I'm not sure if maybe your 3 might be an 8 for them. 😃
