Organize your space and your mind
Do you feel that your mind is in different places throughout the day? For example, it feels like you cannot focus on one task at a time. Look at the environment around you. Is it clean or messy? If you said messy, your brain could be affected by your environment, which can make you feel unorganized.
It can be overwhelming to look at the environment around you and know where to start. Take it little by little. According to Well.org, you can start organizing your space by:
Starting with one area of the room.
Taking everything out of drawers and off shelves so you can easily see everything.
Making separate piles and deciding where each item will go.
Typically, there are three piles labeled as Keep, Donate or Throw Away.
Designate a spot for every item in the Keep pile. Make sure to do your best to return it after every use.
There are long term benefits to staying organized. According to PIH Health, the health benefits of being organized include:
Feeling less stress
Sleeping better
Feeling happier
Taking better care of yourself
Enjoying better relationships
Organization can benefit us in so many ways.
