10 Benefits of an organised home

You may have already spent time decluttering and organising areas of your home or maybe you have started organising before really considering the items which should be in your home first. It could be that you are reading this as someone who is reaching out for the help and guidance of a professional to help you since you are unsure where to start. Whatever your previous story, the benefits to organising are endless. Here are our top 10 reasons:

1. Improved productivity

   you do not need to spend time looking for things, fixing things, or cleaning things. Everything you own has been carefully chosen to fulfill a particular purpose, it is cleaned and maintained and has a specific place within your space so that you and everyone within the space can quickly and easily use it.

2. Improved wellbeing

   you look around the space you are in and feel calm, confident, and happy. You are not overwhelmed or stressed by clutter and excessive stimuli in your environment.

3. Money saved

   items in your space are chosen for a particular purpose and since everything has a home, you can keep a mental inventory of the items that you own to avoid duplicates being purchased. If an item is deemed unfit for purpose it is disposed of in an appropriate manner. 

4. Mutually convenient

   family members and guests can use the space easily since everything is stored appropriately and labeled.

5. Cleaning takes less time

   clear surfaces and fewer things out means your cleaning time is more efficient. You don't need to spend time moving things around or clearing surfaces to clean them.

6. Shopping is more efficient

   you can see what you already have and therefore know what you need before you go shopping. You have in mind that anything you buy will need to be found a ‘home’ within your space so spending is reduced to necessary items only.

7. Tidying with ease

   when it comes to tidying your things back into their ‘homes’ it is a lot more efficient since you know where everything goes and others using the space can help too.

8. Pride in your home

   you will be proud to show people the space you live or work in. It doesn’t require any ‘blitzing’ before someone arrives as you are able to manage the items within your space easily. It looks pleasing to the eye and is simple to maintain. 

9. Promotes creativity

   you feel positive and calm in the space you are in which aids you in being more creative and focusing on tasks you need or want to do since you are not distracted by things you can see or chores you need to complete.

10. Nurture relationships

    with an organised space you are able to save on time tidying, money purchasing duplicates or items which aren’t needed, and get energized from being in a positive environment. All this time, money, and energy can be used on nurturing relationships.
