Benefits of Organizing Your Home
Decluttering Helps Reduce Stress + Anxiety
Clutter = stress. Or, at least it can cause stress. When we’re constantly surrounded by a busy environment, it can start to become too much information for our brains to process in practical and visual terms. When we subject ourselves to constant levels of stress, it can seriously start to deplete our energy sources. Taking the time to declutter, organize, and get rid of things that no longer serve a purpose can help decrease both stress and anxiety, and creating a soothing environment that’s actually nurturing.
Organizing Your Home Saves You Time in the Long Run
Is leaving the house a hectic frenzy because you couldn’t find your phone? Or you misplaced your keys? When you’re home is organized, you tend to have a place for everything. Which makes finding things so much easier and less stressful. You’ll have systems in place so you’re less likely to lose the small, everyday items that tend to get thrown “wherever” whenever you walk in the door.
Getting into the habit of putting things where they belong as soon as you’re done using them, is always a great way to save time in the long run.
Organizing Boosts Your Self Confidence
Have you ever heard that people who make their bed first thing in the morning have a sense of accomplishment and are actually more productive throughout the day?
It’s because we as humans thrive on that feeling of being productive and accomplishing tasks. When we’re able to put our energy to good use (like decluttering our home), not only does it help us feel like we’ve achieved something, but it gives us visual results that make us feel good, provides us a space we can feel proud of and love, and improves our self confidence.
Organizing Teaches Your Kids Good Lessons
Keeping an organized home teaches your kids the lesson of responsibility, and picking up after oneself. Not a parent? Then it teaches your messy significant other the same lesson.
Keeping an Organized Home Saves You Money
Home organization may seem like an expensive hobby at first, but it can save you money in the long run. Once you get everything set up the way you want, you’re going to be less likely to impulse-buy more odds and ends that are just going to take up space. You’ll be able to easily see what you already have, and will be less likely to buy duplicates.
Being Organized Promotes Creativity
How many times have you put off a work project or even a hobby because you had so much stuff you needed to do? The same goes for a cluttered home. It’s difficult to feel inspired to work on a creative project when there’s so much visual stimuli going on you can’t concentrate.
Fostering a clean, decluttered environment can help stimulate your creative juices and give you the time, energy, and focus you need to see those projects through to completion.
An Organized Home Helps Declutter Your Brain
Physical clutter can lead to mental clutter. It’s like the junk in our homes starts to run out of space so it starts taking up rent in our brains. A lot of times, subconsciously, our brains are focusing on a never-ending to-do list. Always adding items as we go. Getting organized can help clear up that brain fog and let our minds focus on something that brings us joy, not stress.
