A lot of our everyday stresses come from the thought of having many things to do and not finding enough time to do them. Whether it's cleaning up our closet or delegating tasks to the assistant we just hired, mental clutter is bound to take a toll, not only on our psychological well-being but on our health. Losing sleep on a regular basis because of busy schedules means that you are robbing your bodies of much needed rest. Our body has no time to rejuvenate itself and we make ourselves more vulnerable to illness. This is part of being disorganized and not being to manage time properly. Keeping a sense of organization in our daily lives is something that should be encouraged.
Being organized has a lot of benefits. You will find many. You will find yourself more energized just by knowing that everything is in its right place at the right time in your personal life alone. Maintaining an organized closet is always the classic example. There will be no more coming to work late because you couldn't find that top that you thought was in one tiny compartment in your closet, until you found out it wasn't there when you are able to do this.

There will be no more tempers early in the morning because you couldn't find your car keys and you always thought your kids were playing with them. No need to be too touchy about guests coming without notice - you know you won't be embarrassed because everything is spic-and-span. A study shows that clutter at home plays a significant role in a dweller's psychological disposition. You sure don't need statistics to back this. Try it, and see the proof.
You can expect even greater results at work where this is always expected of you if being organized at home can give you a number of benefits. There is really nothing mysterious or profound about what being systematic can do to your career. A classic example in this scenario is increasing your productivity. When you have your tasks all lined up for the day, and you make a full commitment to completing them, you will end up doing more for your company. Of course, the rewards will come.
You will feel more confident about what you do because whatever goals you have set, you will be able to achieve them when you keep to a system. But being organized does not mean that you have to be perfect and everything will be a success. Give yourself a room for failure. Not to say you have to be comfortable with failure, but you certainly have to know when to forgive yourself for not having achieved something.
There will always be things that will take more time for you to attain, so don't be too hard on yourself. Organizing and doing your tasks, you have to learn to relax in between goal-setting. Our prefrontal cortex, that part of the brain involved in organization and decision-making, is suppressed by stress and fear which are likely to occur when we know we have a lot to do but couldn't do them all. We do away with these negative inputs, our brains will be refreshed and then, we can be more effective in anything we do when we relax.
