Organization is most effective when a person declutters first (so we don't waste time or energy organizing clutter), simplifying by only keeping those things we need and enjoy, and by documenting our progress (journaling helps us discover more about our patterns and organizational styles, as well as have self-accountability and a plan for success).
Time is Life. How we spend the minutes, days, and time we're given determines the quality and happiness of our life. The Simplify - Do More Living publications are written to encourage, educate, and motivate readers to move from a complicated, stressful, cluttered life with time pressures to one that becomes a joyful, organized life that recognizes what is important.
When we simplify life, we have more time for the people, things, and activities that we value most. When we declutter, we begin to recognize what are our needs versus wants, and we begin to let go of things that burden us, steal our time and energy, and cause stress to maintain. When we journal, it helps us identify our patterns, our thinking, our values, and our feelings. Journaling is a form of self-accountability and direction, and when we journal and have accountability, research indicates we will be much more successful in reaching our goals.
Gratitude and Journaling are extremely powerful tools we can all use to build happier lives and help us organize our thoughts as we develop and mature mentally and emotionally. Gratitude changes our brains into a more positive personality that is reflected in the responses of those around us. Journaling reinforces good habits, helps us learn more about who we are, and can be a map to where we want to go in life.
Our minds are powerful and when we decide to recognize the beauty of the world around us, the people living on this earth, and even the smallest and simplest things in life, we begin to develop a mindset of gratitude and thankfulness.
