Organization is my love language. Seriously. Every part of it. Am I the only one who gets excited perusing The Container Store? Or Ikea with their small space functionality? Seriously. It’s better than chocolate!
I am not alone in this and because of that, there has been oodles of research going into organization. This research has found that when your environment is cluttered, the chaos restricts your ability to focus. The clutter also limits your brain’s ability to process information. Clutter makes you distracted and unable to process information as well as you do in an uncluttered, organized, and serene environment.
The clutter competes for your attention in the same way your toddler might stand next to you repeating, “mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy …” (anyone else ever been there)? Even though you might be able to focus a little, you’re still aware that a screaming toddler is also vying for your attention. The annoyance also wears down your mental resources and you’re more likely to become frustrated.
Organization Science
Back in 2010, the researchers at the Princeton University Neuroscience Institute published the results of a study where they used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and other physiological measurement tools to map the brain’s responses to organized and disorganized stimuli and to monitor task performance. The conclusions were strong — if you want to focus to the best of your ability and process information as effectively as possible, you need to clear the clutter from your home and work environment. This research shows that you will be less irritable, more productive, distracted less often, and able to process information better with an uncluttered and organized home and office.
If you follow along with us on social media you know we are in the home buying/building season of life here on the blog! Deynece and her husband just closed on their home and we were given our estimated close date for the home we are building! Hooray!
Organization only works if it is functional so new homes make it necessary to re-evaluate your systems. Plus, one of the biggest pieces of advice I can offer after multiple cross country moves, is to prepare by purging what you can. It is certainly obnoxious to spend time, money, and space to move a box of crap. One that as you unpack it realize why did I bring this? We thought this would be the perfect time to re-organize our homes and lives and share the journey with you all.
Where To Begin
In the course Make Over Your Evenings, she urges you to dress for the day you want. This is not a new concept and there is research that suggests there is a strong link between wardrobe and emotional state. Combine this impact with the fact that this is an easy area to take control of so we are going to start with our wardrobe.
What if there were a FOOLPROOF way to declutter and organize your clothes? What if, as an amazing bonus, you were left with a wardrobe filled with only things that you LOVE? There is a way.
