Creating Organization In Our Lives |

“We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.”
~Edith Lovejoy Pierce
Happy New Year from Simple Organizing Strategies!
Did you know that there are two very different, yet equally successful systems for creating organization in our lives? When we begin our journey towards health and balance with this principle in mind, we quickly overcome half the battle towards conquering clutter and ridding our lives of disorganization once and for all.
The first type of organizational system is for those who prefer the minimalistic look. They like things neat and tidy, with trinkets, papers, and supplies out of sight, often stored in drawers, cupboards, containers, and file cabinets. The appearance of minimal clutter is key for these individuals, so by giving all items a designated home and scheduling routine maintenance time for the upkeep of the systems, organization is achieved.
The second type of organization, although traditionally far less understood or accommodated for, is for the visual and creative thinker. These individuals have been taught to conform to a system that is certainly not built to compliment their strengths. Visual thinkers prefer things to be out where they can see them, and most generally, every flat surface in the home becomes a place to set things down, which leads to lots of piles. Restricting items behind a cupboard door, dresser drawer, or file cabinet can create a visual and psychological barrier that limits their ability to function successfully and efficiently. Most generally, these are people who are consistently asked by family members and friends to clean up their room, put their clothes away, and clear off their desks.
