Some folks dont have a lot of clutter and junk but need to know how to maintain organization and have a place for their stuff. On the other hand, some homeowners have piles upon piles...a big mess, and still think its just a matter of needing storage. When, in fact, storage is the last thing you need. The first step is getting rid of clutter, rather than adding more storage just to keep more stuff. The thing is, once you start organizing your home, youll see how great and real the benefits are: -Its reducing stress by having order and discipline. -Its having more space by keeping clutter out for good. -Its simplifying the way you live at home by creating useful systems that work for you personally. -Its a way of being on time, and not feeling the strain of running against the clock. Quite simply, when you finally start to make the simple changes of organization, it all adds up to give you more room to breath so you can enjoy your family and friends more. Being organized isnt a matter of being rich or poor, young or old. We were never taught organization in school and, in fact, were taught to multi-task and go in too many directions at once. This was how they told us to live. Personally, I have always gone against the grain and never worried about keeping things we dont need. My wife Megan and I make sure if something is not being put to use or its out-of-date... its getting sold or thrown out. We also utilize smart, affordable storage to keep only useful items and starting teaching our kids the value of being organized at a very young age. It makes it easier on them and on us to stay disciplined about organization. The funny thing is I dont think I was raised to be organized. Nobody knew much about organization back then, although I was always a little neat as a kid. But somewhere along the way I figured out it made the most sense. I like to be on time and being organized makes that possible. I dont like wasting time looking for things, like tools or ingredients for cooking or paperwork or bills. Being organized makes it all a lot easier. Its not going to make you ri*ch, but it will certainly save you money by avoiding duplicate purchases and late bills. Its not going to make you any younger, but it will certainly give you more time to do things you might think you dont have time to do. Being organized isnt going to give you a bigger house, but it will clear clutter and open up some space so youll feel like you have a bigger house because there will be less congestion and stuff all over the place. There may seem like there is a lot to getting organized and over the next few days Im going to share with you even more tips and tricks to getting and staying organized. |
