Side Effect of Being Organized

The Side Effects of Being Organized

You know those pharmaceutical commercials that get you all excited to conquer all that ails you with a magic pill, only to recite a laundry list of side effects and all the ways the same magic pill can make other bodily functions fail? Sure, you no longer have your double chin, but now you have high blood pressure and incontinence!

You’ll be relieved to hear, the side effects of organization are nothing like that. (But then again, organization doesn’t happen by taking a magic pill. You have to work at it)

The Side Effects of Being Organized

  1. You stop spending money on things you already own. I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I’ve heard “ugh! I just bought more because I couldn’t find that one!” when going through the unearthing process.
  2. You have less single socks in the laundry. When the bottom of the closet is clear, under the bed is empty, and you know what is in each drawer, doing a quick once-over to gather all those single socks is a breeze!
  3. It takes less time to clean your house. When things don’t have a home, you (or your kids) can’t put them away. Even with 3 crafty homeschooled kids, it takes about 20 minutes of focused time to pull my house back together.
  4. You actually like your belongings. Gone are the jeans that fit two babies ago! Adios to the books you’ve wanted to get around to reading… for the past 5 years! Sayonara to the pit-stained white shirts! Au revoir to the one-trick-pony kitchen gadgets you thought would solve all of your woes but you only used twice! Ditch the worn out shoes, the broken dishes, and the ripped towels. You’ll thank me for it.

Home organization isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. It’s an investment in your sanity and in your productivity. This is one investment that is guaranteed to yield huge returns.
