Why is it important to be organized? Don’t do it to be better than your co-worker or your friend. Don’t do it because your spouse is frustrated with the messy house. Don’t do it to impress the in-laws (although it can earn you brownie points!). Do it because it makes you feel good. Do it because you can rest your head on your pillow each night knowing that the energy your put forth today will simplify tomorrow so it can be a productive and joyful day.

It is important so that you are setting a good example for your children. As parents, the mission is to live your life as you would want your children to live. How can you be upset at your daughter for always forgetting her homework when you can’t remember where you put your keys?

Organization allows us to have more time for ourselves and those close to us. Regardless of how we spend our free-time (or lack of it) we want that time with those we love to be enjoyable. How can it be enjoyable if you’re late or have to leave early because you didn’t plan ahead for the next event in your day? Being organized means making the most for those we care about. It’s about developing systems and processes to simplify our life.

Organization is about simplifying our lives and as a direct result, the lives of those we care about will be enhanced, enriched and organized!
