An Organized Home is a Healthy Home

Storage Systems Promote Healthier Living

by Deborah Bettcher

As you are gearing up to spend more time inside your home as winter sets in, this would be a good time to think about organization."Getting organized" is said to be the second most popular vow made when the year turns to a new one. As a little more incentive,here is a list of the benefits that you will gain from tackling that chore:

-You will be able to relax more. I've read that we often waste two hours a day looking for something. When you are organized, you can find things faster

-You will feel better about your home and since it is a reflection of your self , you will feel better about you...

- You'll be healthier, by reducing stress.

-You'll be a better role model for others, particularly if you have children.

- You'll save money because you'll be able to access the purchases that you've made. Once you have an organizational system, you will buy items that you have a place for.

Your bedroom is a good place to start. Wouldn't it be great to have a closet that makes you feel better at the start and end of each day?

Then consider your entry. Is it working for you? Does it set the tone of your home as a tidy, welcoming space?

Move to your pantry, laundry, each bedroom and garage.. Are they set up in ways that enable you to function efficiently? How do they make you feel? It may be time to purge.

Tight on space? Put the space under the staircase or bench seat to good use.

While there are websites that can help you and some systems can be installed by accomplished DIYers, you might find it advantageous to use a professional. A design professional can help you coordinate the solution with your decor. Not only that a designer will take into account the amount of space needed to accommodate your belongings, know what measurements are required for the specific organizational system and understand what adaptations are needed with trim and baseboards.

It may seem daunting, but remember those benefits and get some help, so that you won't have to mke getting organized one of your resolutions for another new year!
