Organize + Energize: Welcome Spring! 6 Ways to Get Energized in Your Home!
Tuesday, March 20, 2018
Spring is here! It’s time to bring some fresh and new energy into your home. When you’re disorganized, you waste precious energy. You waste energy that could be transferred to tasks that really need attention and focus. When you’re surrounded by disorganization and chaos, it shifts the energy in your home or office from an uplifting energy to a sluggish, stagnant energy and it will weigh on you heavily. If your home is making you feel tired and sluggish, it’s time to make that change!
Do you feel like you are weighed down by mental clutter and disorganization? Are you functioning at your best? Here are 6 ways you can get energized by being organized.
Have designated spots. The less time you have to think about where things are in your home, the less energy you will expend. Items you use on a regular basis should have designated spots in the home. You have a home for your toothbrush, right? Think of all of the items you use on a regular basis. Where are they located now? Are they scattered all over the home? Grab them and designate spots for them.

Things you do on a regular basis every day should all have a process and a system. The less you have to think about something that you have to tackle, the more productive you will be.
Have less. The more you have, the more complicated your life becomes and with that comes stress. Excess stress will add to your mental clutter and zap your energy. How much of what’s in your home do you actually use? How much do you really need? Choose quality items over quantity of items that are never used.
Stop running around in circles. Use your time wisely. Do you find you are busy, but not productive? Are you exhausted by the end of the day and don’t know why? Start using to-do lists and begin planning and preparing. Take a minute to stop and plan your day and you’ll find that you just may have extra time and more energy throughout the day.
Delegate. Is doing too much for everybody zapping your energy? Can you start to delegate chores to your kids and other family members to make your life easier? Give them a little structure, independence and responsibility and you may find yourself with more energy.
Live simple. Streamline the way you function. In the home, think about the tasks you perform on a daily basis. Think about the laundry, dishes, cleaning the home. How difficult are you making these tasks? How often are you performing them? Streamline these processes to become more efficient and productive and less stressed.
There are many benefits to being organized. You will have more free time, you’ll save money and you’ll have less stress, more energy and people will have more confidence in you. If you feel like you are always drained and mentally fatigued; there is a way out. If you want to feel energized, now is the time to get organized.
