Organizing in today’s world Series: Part One

Why Bother?

With so many stressors in our society today, getting organized is more important now than ever before. Why, you may ask, would someone spend (never waste) time purging through old stuff and junk in their home or office to simplify when the majority of the country is fast-peddling to get ahead or at least back to where they once were? With countless layoffs, businesses closing or reducing hours due to lack of customers, it seems that just making an income and trying to retain the ‘status quo’ would be good enough.

Well, it’s not.

This is the time to rein in on what we have, what we can live without and what we might need to sustain us through whatever may come.

For one, the average person wastes so much time looking for lost items in their home, this alone is a good reason to finally get order in your life. Often the item in need is buried under junk that shouldn’t exist in the environment in the first place. Do you find you are always searching for at least one item on a regular basis, keys perhaps?

Two reasons this could be happening: 1) you don’t have a regular place you can put them without something happening to them – they fall off a counter or get moved by someone in the house, or even buried under something through the course of the time they are sitting in that spot, or 2) you get distracted or are absentminded and just let them fall where they may upon entering your home or office and then forget where they landed after you deposited them randomly.

Learn to be mindful of where you are placing something. It is wise to actually say OUT LOUD, “I’m putting the keys on the kitchen counter on the corner” to yourself so you can get it into your memory better and it makes you stop to pay attention. You will have a MUCH better chance of finding your keys this way!
