admin Unfortunately, many times we underestimate the importance of home organizing or being organized for that matter. We go through Pinterest and look at dreamy photos, trying to replicate but give up because our homes don’t stay as those pictures or because they are out of our budget.
Due to the fact that we have those Pinterest images at the back of our minds, we give up and don’t give as much importance to home organizing. Home organizing isn’t about have clutter free surfaces, but it’s about what’s inside your cupboards and having systems that make your life easier and save you time.
When one thinks about family dynamics and issues, what immediately comes to our minds are dinner times. A solution to meal time concerns is meal planning, and that once you start meal planning you would lead an organized life. Once you grab the art of meal planning, then your life in the kitchen will definitely be easier.
IT’S YOUR LIFE IN THE KITCHEN THAT WILL BE EASIER…NOT YOUR LIFE.
Trying to prepare you meals (as planned in your meal plan) in an unorganized kitchen is a recipe for disaster. Your life is not just made up only of food (though it forms most part of it), but of many other aspects that if disregarded can still make you feel stressed and anxious.
Therefore getting your home organized is not only important in your kitchen and here are some of the benefits.
1. Make better use of space and time
It is a well known fact that clutter causes anxiety and stress, therefore having an organised home reduces those stress levels. When everything has a place in your home, you will spend less time searching for what you need. If you live in a small space, being organised allows you to make the most of your space and although nowadays you can find furniture that adapts to any type of space, stuffing things in an unorderly manner will still not function properly. And that is where organization is more important than ever.
The anxiety of looking for every single thing or removing stuff to try and find something we have all gone through it. Thus staying always organised allows you to make the most of your time at home.
2. Smarter homes do not only refer to electronics
During the pandemic we have spent so much time at home and it made us appreciate the importance of having smarter home spaces. Homes that are also more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. Although we look forward to having our social lives back, we appreciate the fact that having an organised home makes us more comfortable. Keeping the home in order, will become a habit, a lifestyle that would give us the ability to do more and make better use of our time.
Are you ready to start working towards an organised home?
Having an organised home and being organised is not just about the pretty baskets and color coding….IT’S MUCH MORE.
We all have a level of stress during the day, whether it’s taking care of the kids, work pressure, family issues or a loss.
If we are rushing out of the door and we cannot find our keys, we get frustrated and our anxiety level goes up because we know we cannot leave without them.
So for me having everything organised reduces those anxieties and frustrations. It does not mean that I don’t get frustrated at work, or at other things, but coming home and have everything organised I can relax and enjoy time with family.
