On the road to self-actualization, there are many things to consider. We make lists of how to improve ourselves. We want to be healthier. Have more energy. Get more done. We worry about the goals we make and then we worry about keeping them. What we often don’t realize is how one very specific thing helps us to get where we want to go, regardless of what area of our life we’re focusing on just now.
We’re talking about organization. There are so many benefits to getting organized. Consider these things:
Your Day Starts Better
When you’re organized, there’s no scramble in the morning to get out the door. Your clothes are laid out, you know what you’re having for breakfast (and even have time to eat it). Everything you need to start your day is near at hand and ready to go. What a great way to launch the best day of your life!
You Get More Done
Talk about productive! When you have your schedule under control, everything is right where you can find it when you need it, and no distractions to take you from your work, you’re assured success.
Your Home Feels Good to You
With no clutter to distract, and everything exactly where you want it when you need it, your home becomes a sanctuary. Even better, it becomes the perfect place to invite others in for a visit when you need a little socialization.
You Have More
With organization, you’re able to keep your life rolling along smoothly. This means you have more money in the bank as you’re not wasting it on buying last-minute things you don’t really need. You have more time because you’re not spending hours looking for lost items. You have more peace of mind, knowing just where you need to be next because you’ve scheduled out your appointments.
You’re Calmer
What’s for dinner? The dreaded question every adult hates to even think about is already answered because you know. It’s on your meal plan. You’re not rushing around, but can arrive on time because all your appointments are scheduled and on the calendar. You’re even feeling better because you’re not skipping meals and even finding time for exercise. It’s no wonder you feel so good!
You Sleep Better
Nothing is more conducive to a good night’s sleep than laying down to rest in an environment which is free from clutter and distraction. Even more important is being able to close your eyes knowing tomorrow is going to be a great day, simply because you’re already prepared to make it so.
