What does ser un desastre mean?

ExpressionColoquial

to be hopeless at something

Disorganised, error-prone, not to be trusted with a calendar. Not a strong insult at all, and frequently said fondly — including about yourself.

Soy un desastre con los horarios.
Admitting it first takes the sting out, which is usually the point.
