Good Housekeeping Magazine AND www.thv11.com  share some health benefits of living organized. Listed here are 4 of the 5 that I have found to be very useful:

1. Benefits of living organized → Increase “Self Care Time”  Enjoying leisure activities is linked with health and well-being. Being “crazy busy” is not a positive way to live. If you can’t cram one more thing into your schedule, you may want to get organized. Every minute you are looking for something – means less time to relax. My clients gain about an hour a day after I help them organize their home or work-from-home office.

2. Benefits of living organized → Reduce Relationship Conflicts When your relationships are strained due to arguments over lost items, missed appointments, and cluttered space disorganization is effecting your life more than it should. My clients tell me that their family relationships were greatly improved because their home was clean and organized!

3. Benefits of living organized → Live a Long and Healthy Life  If you often forget to take prescribed medications, supplements, or vitamins there are tools available to help. A simple weekly pill-sorting container can help you set up appropriate dosage in advance. Apps like Med-Coach sends medication reminders from your smartphone. In addition, you can schedule calls or text messages with software like www.OnTimeRx.com.

4. Benefits of living organized → Reduced Financial Stress  When you misplace bills, pay late fees, and replace items you cannot find, unnecessary costs add up. The best strategy for reducing financial stress is establishing a home for all incoming bills and then designating one day a week to pay them. For you techy people, try a budgeting tool like www.mint.com.
