Create a Place for Everything That Matters
By Leo BabautaIt can often feel like our lives are messy, cluttered, overwhelming, scattered. Like a house filled with clutter, our lives can feel like a huge mess. Today I’d like to share an idea for getting things in order: just as I recommend for decluttering your house, create a place for everything that matters to you. In our physical houses, things can get messy when we just put things in random places. So when we declutter, it’s not just about getting rid of things we don’t want — it’s also about finding a home for everything we do want. A place for everything. Once we have a home for each item, it’s a matter of training ourselves to put them back where they belong. And once this is in place, things can feel much more sane. It’s not about keeping to a perfect system, it’s about knowing where things go, and then allowing ourselves to relax into that structure. What if we could apply the same idea to everything else in our lives? If something is worth being in our lives, doesn’t it deserve to have a place? For example:
These are a few ideas, but you might find other places where you life feels messy, and then find a place or a structure to keep that messiness organized. A home for everything. In the examples above (which you are not limited to), the main places to keep things might be:
If we had regular times in the day and the week to do these things, our lives would feel much more in order. The post Create a Place for Everything That Matters appeared first on zen habits.
