Practice Mindful Organizing

Are you curious about how to practice mindful organizing? If so, here are a few ideas:

  • Find the White Space- You live a full life, so finding the time to organize can feel challenging. Review your schedule and identify the empty time blocks or white space.  Allocate some for your organizing goals. Aim for mindful time and energy management.

  • Calm Your Nervous System- Clutter and disorganization can cause overwhelm, stress, and inaction. Use mindful awareness to shift your state of being. Try some simple breathing techniques. You can mindfully choose where to begin organizing in this more relaxed state.

  • Let Go of Perfection- Mindful organizing is not about perfection. It’s about considering your needs, situation, and preferences. Organize in a way that supports how you think and live. Let go of what you believe organizing “should” be and focus on what will work for you.
