Get Organized Day

Get Organized Day is a day to clean up and declutter your home and office.

Research shows that an organized living or work space helps saves time and gives a sense of clarity, while it’s also closely linked to productivity, happiness, and a sense of fulfillment.

The aim of the annual celebration is simple – to get rid of the mess. It can be difficult to muster up the motivation needed to tackle a major clean, but here are a few tips that could help you get started:

 

• Define what organization means for you – there’s no OSFA when it comes to organization.
• Create an organizing playlist – music can get you moving and be motivating.
• Bin your unnecessary items – if you haven’t used it in a year, maybe it’s time to say goodbye.
• Dedicate time to a work clean – delete duplicate files and create labeled folders for files.
• Do laundry once a week – you’ll always have clean clothes and a dedicated day to wash.
• Do it now – there’s no time like the present.

 

Organizing your space, whether it’s at home or in work, is more than just a one-day thing. It’s a habit that needs to be developed one day at a time, so set yourself daily routines to get going.

If you’re serious about getting organized, a planner could help in outlining your schedule or your appointments, and you’ll be less likely to forget something important.
