Organize Your Life for Inspired Living

Taking the time to organize your life is a powerful process which can streamline your life and re-energize your focus on what you want to manifest.

This  process can give you the skills to create the systems, routines and habits that minimize the must do’s in your home while allowing you to eliminate distractions in the form of clutter and the roadblocks in your thinking that slow down any kind of success for you. What is wonderful about this journey is that organizing your life is the key to inspired living.

So how would you rate your personal organization at the moment?

How in control and on top of things do you feel? Do you need more skills to organize your life so you can have the freedom to totally focus on your aspirations, dreams and goals? Organization makes goals achievable.

This can be very challenging with today’s busy lifestyle but stepping back, taking a breath and being open to new ways of thinking that lead to small changes is the beginning of creating an organized life.

Here are some of the organizing ideas that will give you a sense of the systems that could really work for you

Writing things down

This is the most important step when making a shift from chaos into order

Writing down where you need to be organized and what you need to do to achieve it gives you the idea of the clutter free habits and organizational routines that would work for you.

Little things like updating a daily to do list, ( or even having one), menu planners, grocery lists, chore lists and morning and evening checklists can make the difference between a disastrous day and a day that flows smoothly. Filling these lists takes minutes and can save you hours in the week.

Making Routines that work for you

Creating daily, weekly and monthly routines lets you delgate and prioritze which keeps all activites running smoothly.

Daily routines such as updating the family calendar, picking and tidying up and writing goals in your to do list keep small tasks small. A weekly cleaning chore list and a monthly organizing/cleaning list remove the mental clutter and vastly improve your clarity energy and optimism. You’ll find your workload reduced as tasks become smaller and easier to accomplish saving you hours every week. Choose one daily organizing routine and practice until it becomes an unconscious habit, then start another one. Just be consistent.

Rituals are important for personal organization. These are daily quick organizational moments in your life that take seconds to minutes but prevent items from piling up and becoming monsters to clear. Little things like taking a few minutes to organize receipts, clean out your wallet, tidy your desk, put dishes or laundry away can totally eliminate chaos from your life.

It’s the little things that count and the little things that can rob you of hours in your week.

Clutter management and maintenance

Establishing clear clutter management and maintenance helps to keep your new systems in place. Don’t be alarmed. Once you are relatively clutter free and organized maintaining these systems takes minutes. If you have designated places for everything you own it is simple to put back. If you have a designated place to put redundant items it is easy to let go. Pick up and put away routines are easy to do when your family does it every day at the same time. Monthly chore lists mean bigger jobs are done regularly and you can relax in your home because the cleaning is under control.

Identifying your roadblocks and changing your clutter excuses into organizing solutions is a benefit of the clutter free and organizing journey. Everyone has their reasons for hanging on to redundant items and procrastinating about getting organized but moving through the excuses to figuring out the solution and taking action creates a home that works with you and not against you.

Creating visual happiness every time you declutter and organized means your home is becoming attractive from the inside and out. Taking moments in your day to create beauty simply makes you feel good in your home. This can be as simple as tidying up a room, cleaning an area, buying a a bouquet of flowers, using candles or placing treasured objects in special places.

Inspired living starts with the time you take to organize your life and taking those all important  baby steps toward the home you want to live in and the life you want to live. As you let go of clutter you get rid of roadblocks, distractions and things that are a burden.

As you organize your home you reduce your workload, save money, and create time and energy to do what you love. As you home evolves your live evolves so clarity around what is important to you lets your personal productivity soar and often your life direction or life purpose starts to reveal itself. So take a baby step now.
