Good Housekeeping Magazine AND www.thv11.com  share some health benefits of living organized. Listed here are 4 of the 5 that I have found to be very useful:

1. Benefits of living organized → Increase “Self Care Time”  Enjoying leisure activities is linked with health and well-being. Being “crazy busy” is not a positive way to live. If you can’t cram one more thing into your schedule, you may want to get organized. Every minute you are looking for something – means less time to relax. My clients gain about an hour a day after I help them organize their home or work-from-home office.

 Time cannot be manufactured. We each have 24 hours in the day. If you are burning the candle at both ends, you may not be as bright as you think you are. In my 8 years of working with clients I now know that it takes time to manage time.

The more you work at time management, the more found time will become available to you. In fact, I guarantee my clients at least one hour gained per day. That creates 6 extra weeks per year for them to spend any way they would like.

If you are interested in locating found time in which to focus on yourself or focus on the projects that matter most to you take a look at this product I’ve created. What will you do with that hour you gain each day?

I am always involved in new learning. I thoroughly enjoy a recommended reading book suggested by someone I value. I have learned much as I read. It has allowed me to fine tune my thoughts and ideas. Some of my favorite books on understanding why we struggle with disorganization and how to begin the organizing process are listed below. The book titles I recommend are shown in orange print.

Time Management from the Inside Out by Julie Morgenstern Julie is one of my favorite organizing experts. This book is based on her basic organizing SPACE formula. She focuses on scheduling and prioritizing.

Leave the Office Earlier by Laura Stack Laura, known as “the productivity pro” has a clear handle on the importance of prioritizing what’s truly important.
