“For every minute spent organizing, an hour is earned.” Benjamin Franklin.
Getting and staying organized isn’t about perfection. It’s about efficiency, reducing stress and clutter, saving time and money and improving your overall quality of life.
It’s a kind of practice; the practice of being in control and being in discipline. getting organized isn’t about getting rid of everything you own or trying to become a different person. It’s about living the way you want to live but in a better perspective and making life simpler.
Organized people are not born organized. They learn to cultivate healthy habits which help them to stay organized. If you’re just intent on getting organized with no goals in mind, then you will never feel like you’ve achieved anything. Instead, if you plan first what exactly you want and then aim for that, it’ll make you more satisfied whatever little progress you could achieve.
Deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do. Prioritize makes getting organized much quicker and less overwhelming. When you get organized you really feel calmer. Just think about coming back to an organized home after the day’s exertion, where you can instantly relax…rather than being faced with a lot of to do lists being done to declutter and making you busier than you need to be.
Planning takes time. Yes. but that time will help save you more time later on. Often the difference between being organized and dis-organized is the little habits we do each day without really thinking. It’s an ongoing process and it gets easier and easier the more we do it and finally we can reap the reward. The reward of increase in your productivity, the reward of just feeling good about yourself and about everything around you. For example, I can say that I start my day every morning decluttering my mind with affirmations and deep breathing. This way I stay focused and calm throughout the day.
