Implementing some well-thought-out habits can help us get organized! Small actions taken consistently will bring better results than grand gestures taken occasionally. We can make big plans and set big goals, but the best way to achieve them is to develop habits--things we do almost automatically--that move us in the direction of our goals. For more thoughts on the value of habits (and how to nurture useful ones) check out episode 230, when we talked about key takeaways from James Clear’s book, Atomic Habits, and episode 147, where we discussed The Power of Habit, by Charles Duhigg.  For many of us, a goal is to be more organized. The more organized we are, both in our space and in our use of time, the more at peace we can be, and the more we can accomplish because we’re wasting less time.  The challenge is that most of us have a lot going on in our lives, which makes the idea of taking on a big reorganization project feel overwhelming.  Even if you don’t have the time or energy to spend big chunks of time organizing your space or your life, though, you can still make progress by establishing small habits that take only a couple of minutes but can result in a more organized home, office, and life. (A great book about this is Mini Habits: Smaller Habits, Bigger Results, by Stephen Guise.)  I did some online research to see what organization experts have to say about this, and wanted to share some recommendations for habits we can all consider. Tidier Home = Less Stress 1. Make your bed. Every single resource I looked at starts with this one. There are lots of reasons why this is such a universal recommendation: Because it’s the largest thing in the room, making the bed immediately makes the whole room look better. It’s a small thing that establishes a sense of control and discipline. For me, it just makes me feel good every time I walk through the room.
