No matter how diligent your organization, the messes of everyday life will inevitably creep in.<br />

However, with an efficiently organized space that best fits your lifestyle and every day needs,<br />

clean up should, in theory, become more accessible, less stressful, and therefore, more likely to<br />

happen. When everything has a place, tidying up simply becomes an act of returning items<br />

to their rightful homes, instead of a scramble to make a home for everything in the moment.<br />

Adrian Egolf of the Clean Slate Living Company suggests a simple daily rule to maintain<br />

organization, “If you can do it in sixty seconds or less, do it now.”<br />

“Our physical space, and the objects that fill it, give us, and others, a sense of who we are,<br />

what we value, and what we have accomplished,” Dr. Sally Augustin, PhD, environmental<br />

psychologist explains. Maintaining organization throughout a home and workspace is vital to<br />

our sense of self, a centering act of our own identity. So, too, Dr. Augustin notes, “Too much<br />

clutter can signal a lack of control and confuse that sense of identity.” While it’s vital to keep<br />

our spaces personal, to display our own unique items and collections, it’s also important for our<br />

mental wellbeing to keep that space clean and organized, however fits best for us.<br />

FINAL WORD<br />

Clutter and disorganization have been scientifically linked to increased stress,<br />

depressed mood, and conflict in relationships. Using some organizational skills<br />

suggested by experts is a great way to embrace the calm, confidence, and joyful<br />

benefits perpetuated by a clean and tidy home environment. <strong>SLO</strong> <strong>LIFE</strong>
