Not everyone is organized. Unfortunately, as a result, people waste valuable time, create unnecessary stress and spend money needlessly. The good news is you can change your current status and reap the benefits.
Boost Your Health
Clutter in any form brings on stress. You probably waste time each day searching for items you need. That can include looking for your car keys, bills, cleaning products, and even your favorite jeans.
Eliminating the clutter and finding a permanent place for everything will eliminate wasting time resulting in reduced stress.
Saving Time
Technology makes it easy to save time. For example, apps for your phone allow you to purchase items quickly, check your bank account and pay bills and create a shopping list. Other apps like an online medical insurance quote tool let you find health insurance that’s right for you and your budget.
Save Money
A disorganized environment can cost you dearly. You can end up buying things you currently have. Unfortunately, some people buy things more than once because it’s easier to replace them than try to find them. You may also pay bills late resulting in late fees or missed payments. A few late payments can have a negative impact on your credit score costing you more to acquire a loan for a home, vehicle, or personal use.
Get More Enjoyment From Life
You only have one life to live. If you spend a considerable amount of time trying to find things, you’re not getting the quality of life you deserve. You show up late to parties and other social gatherings and give up valuable downtime necessary to preserve your sanity.
Improve Air Quality
Piles of books, papers, and clothing are natural dust collectors. This can drastically decrease your indoor air quality causing you to become sick with allergy and respiratory-related illnesses. In addition to dust, spiders and bugs tend to hide in cluttered places.
Becoming Organized
Organization is something that takes practice. Begin slowly, going room by room. A living room is a fantastic starting point as it’s the room where every member of the family gathers.
Remove everything from the room except the furniture. Then bring in items such as your electronics, books, and collectibles. If you currently don’t have storage, it’s easy to incorporate into the room. An entertainment center will house not only the television, but also your gaming system, CD player, and cable box. Try to find one that has both open and closed storage to hide CDs, DVDs, games, and controllers from view.
A Place for Everything
Once you remove the clutter you’ll open up your home and give it a larger appearance. Suddenly you have room to go from one place to another without altering a forward motion. You’ll have bars with hooks to hold keys, umbrellas, towels, and jackets. Your winter and summer clothing and seasonal items are now separate and easy to access. You even have your dresser drawers sorted and jewelry proudly displayed. Your home is now inviting and easier to clean.
Peace of Mind
Becoming organized is similar to breathing in fresh air. You achieve peace of mind. Your bills are paid when due. You no longer miss appointments or school events or social functions. You are now in control and more efficient.
A Huge Time Saver
One of the best results of being organized is less time wasted. You no longer search for your car keys, the matching shoe, or your child’s book bag. You now enjoy planning meals and spending quality time with loved ones.
A cluttered home will have a negative impact on every aspect of your life. Thankfully, you don’t have to waste valuable time any longer. Becoming organized is easier than you may imagine. Take it one step at a time going room by room and before you know it you’ll be efficient, punctual and get more out of life.
