Benefits of "being" organized



Many people I talk with say they want to "get" organized. But, to me, this implies a one-time thing, such as “get a new bike.”

 

Some say they need help learning how to "stay" organized, implying that they have tried many times to organize their home or life, and it just didn’t stick.

 

What many are really seeking is how to "be" organized, or how to set up new systems, change their habits, and live more simply.

 

Whatever language you use, there are so many benefits of decluttering and organizing.

 

Here’s my own personal list of 25 benefits based on five categories: physical, mental, emotional, social, and financial.

 

What would be on your list?

 

  1. Have fewer things cluttering the space

  2. Be able to find things/know where everything is

  3. Able to relax in the space

  4. Make regular donations to charitable organizations

  5. Pass along sentimental items to others who will want them
