Here’s a question for you….how clean is your closet?
One of the biggest things I like to talk with people about when trying to find more minutes in their day is the importance of having organized systems. When you are organized it not only takes less time to find things, it is less stressful on your mind. What do I mean by that?
Well – it is simple – which of these pictures is easier on your eyes?
OR
I hope you picked the second one. The second, cleaned version, is so much easier on your eyes and your mind. Instead of mentally having to decipher what’s going on in that mess of a space in the first picture, the second photo is calming.
I personally find I can’t work – be it in my office, the kitchen or my car – if the areas are trashed. I find it too distracting, too maddening to sort through papers and piles to find a clear space to work. I notice my focus isn’t as clear and I easily get discouraged or overwhelmed.
If you are struggling with everyday tasks and finding yourself always wishing you had more time or were more focused to get things done…try clearing your workspace…even if it is just moving the piles off to the floor for a bit. Test this idea and see if that doesn’t also clear your mind.
Need help setting up a system to stay organized? Let’s talk. I’d love to help!
