When to Organize

When we reduce clutter we reduce stress and have more peace and a better life. Lighten your load and get control over things you can certainly have control of. Think kindergarten! Everything has a place, a home, and you clean up after each activity.
For Your Health:

• Dust, allergies, respiratory, skin problems all stem from your enviornment.

 

• Cleanliness- you can’t clean effectively around piles and boxes

 

• Clutter creates hiding places for redents and spiders

 

• Energy- clutter is emotionally draining

 

• Feng Shui- clutter weighs you down and the flow of energy is blocked by piles of stuff and dust

 

• Hazards- tripping and falling, getting hurt in a cluttered environment is easy.

 

• Stress makes you sick

 

Economic:

• Save time, save money


• Find things - avoid wasteful duplicate purchases


• Pay bills on time, know where they are


• People who respect money, respect their belongings

 

Emotional:

• Holding on to unresolved emotional issues, sometimes evolves into holding onto clutter


• Not making decisions creates clutter


• Fear of not having enough, or having financial problems. "Needing it someday".


• Consider professional organizing in conjunction with therapy for unresolved traumas that cause you to hold on

 

Safety & Preparedness:

• Control what you can- be prepared for emergencies!

 

Spiritual:

• Peace in the world begins within each of us


• Honor your things, honor your greater power


• Teach children respect by modeling it- respect your body, home, belongings, planet


• Make room for good to come in- clear out the old, the stagnant and all indecision


• Create a home sanctuary in which to renew and rest
