Let’s Get Organized – 77 Life Organization Tips-Tips 21- 40
21. If your closet will not close because of too many clothes or you need to push on the stuff in your drawers to close it shut, you need to desperately thin down
your clothes.
22. Try to sort things into categories as they are easier to organize and hence easier to find later.
23. Often you collect clutter because of indecisiveness. You are not sure if you want to give away a tea-set you got as a wedding gift and whether you should retain your child’s first drawing. Make a decision and get rid of what you do not need.
24. Keeping stuff that you do not need only creates day-to-day problems. Would you rather care for just a few important things and spend the rest of your time meaningfully, or would you rather spend all your time cleaning a whole lot of junk stuff?
25. Not managing your time well, will mean missing important events like a close friend’s wedding or your father’s birthday party.
26. If you do not take control of your life, chances are you will end up feeling stressed and frazzled, the effects of which will be seen on your health. Clearing clutter will help you devote more time to things that matter.
27. Your children are bound to learn from you – if they see you clutter things around, they are likely to do the same.
28. Clutter can also keep you from focusing on the future and dragging you into the past. Getting rid of unwanted clutter will help you think more positive thoughts.
29. Being organized will also help you increase your creativity.

31. Being organized also means staying on top of routine matters. If you do not attend to routine matters like taking the car for a tune-up or visit your dentist regularly, you may end up needing emergency care that will cost you far more and take up more time.
32. Store things so that you can see them clearly. Else you may end up buying a duplicate of something that you already have.
33. Getting organized is important in your workplace as well. Your office may evaluate you based on your performance and also on how organized your work area is.
