It’s sometimes simpler to walk away when you’re staring up at a pile of stuff. I understand. Dealing with the stress of decluttering and arranging the things you don’t want or need can be challenging and unpleasant… especially if you’ve never experienced “the other side”: a well-organized home that increases your confidence and calms your mind.
But believe me when I say that there are many advantages to having a well-organized home. Here are the top seven life-changing benefits of an organized home that await you when you make the decision to get your Houston home organized.
An Organized Home Will Save You Time
Saving time is one of the most obvious advantages of having a well-organized home.
What exactly do I mean? You know where everything is, right? When you don’t know where to look for something, you waste a lot of time looking for it. You are squandering time that could be better spent on something else.
Do you spend way too much time each week looking for your car keys, the kids’ school stuff, your phone, wallet or other everyday essentials ? Are you late for work, church, childcare, or other obligations as a result of it? If you organize your possessions, giving each one a place that makes sense and is useful in your daily life, you’ll always know where they are, even if you’re in a rush.
Getting Your Home Organized Saves You Money
We’ve all done it: driven to the store and purchased “X,” only to learn we already owned one. Or maybe two.
Similarly, many of us could undoubtedly say we’ve been in need of something we know we have but can’t find, so we go out and get it. Then the missing object resurfaces days, weeks, or months later, and we now have two.
All of this can be prevented by simply organizing your belongings so that everything has a place to call home. You won’t buy extras when you know exactly what you have (and where it is!). As a result, you’ll save money.
When Your Home is Better Organized, Your Brain Will Be Too
We have cluttered thoughts when we have a cluttered house.
On my computer, I’ve noticed the same thing. When I have a gazillion tabs open on my web browser, I’m likely to be disorganized. One of the advantages of having a well-organized home is that it allows us to organize our minds as well.
You will have more room to concentrate and lay out your thoughts without being distracted by the clutter around you when your physical spaces are clutter-free and tidy.
An Organized Home Is a Form of Stress Relief
It’s frustrating to misplace items you need, spend money on things you already have, or sift through belongings and see them as a sea of junk rather than individual valued objects.
When you recognize you need to declutter and organize, the sheer volume of information might be overwhelming. You might not know where to start, so you wind up moving things about from room to room without getting rid of anything. Alternatively, you may begin in one spot, then stop because it’s overwhelming and never return.
It’s reasonable to say that we’ve all been there. However, after you’ve gotten over the hump and have an organized environment with only the objects you truly need, enjoy, and use, you can practically feel the stress draining away.
You’ll no longer feel overwhelmed since you’ll have a home organization strategy in place. You won’t have to ponder where things should go anymore. You’ve got it under control now, and cleanup will be a breeze from now on.
You’ll Set a Great Example For Everyone Else
The advantages of having a well-organized home extend to your family members as well.
If you have children, for example, they will have the opportunity to establish organized habits early if they help you with the tidying process. For example, involving kids in the organizational setup of their own rooms gives them a sense of personal responsibility, as well as a space to be accountable for.
Organizing your home as a family also fosters a sense of belonging. It becomes a family project rather than simply yours, setting a positive example for your children and gaining everyone’s support.
Plus, there’s another bonus! This method also makes it much easier to maintain home organization in the long run.
An Organized Home Leads to More ‘Me Time’
Who hasn’t spent Saturday after Saturday cleaning, organizing, and decluttering?
Week after week, Saturday can be a day you dread because instead of relaxing with your family or going out to hike, camp, shop, or do whatever you want, you’re stuck cleaning up the mess you’ve all made throughout the week.
You’ll have more time to do other things without feeling guilty about it if you keep your home organized, own only the things you genuinely love and use, and focus on putting those items where they belong.
An Organized Home Strengthens Your Self Discipline
One of the many advantages of having a well-organized home is self-discipline. Remember that organizing is a methodical procedure. Sometimes you think you’ve put everything where it belongs, only to discover later that your strategy wasn’t working for your family. It’s perfectly acceptable to restructure something that isn’t working.
But here’s the deal: after you’ve gotten your stuff sorted the way you want it, you have to keep it that way. I feel that if you truly believe in the organizational system you’ve chosen and understand why you want a space to perform effectively for you (for example, saving time and decreasing stress), you’ll be more likely to keep it neat.
But, to be honest, it still requires thought. Whether you’re in a rush, preoccupied, or simply don’t feel like it certain days, you should consistently put things back. And you will. You’ll do it because you understand the long-term benefits of a well-organized home, and you will therefore practice self-discipline every day, which will help you in almost every other aspect of your life.
