Getting Organized

A Frugal Lifestyle Champion is also organized. Getting organized helps you to take control of your space, time and your life. It will allow you to become more focused, productive and achieve your goals.

One thing for sure, organizational skills CAN BE LEARNED! You can learn to do things more quickly and take control of a chaotic schedule if you are organized. The challenge is how to get started and keep the system in place. Being organized does not take away from spontaneity and fun, but rather it increases your ability to accomplish more and enjoy life to its fullest.

Why a Frugal Lifestyle Champion should be organized? Here are some reasons...

Aid Relaxation

Having a de-cluttered home and an organized schedule, will give you a feeling of in-control and less stress. It is stressful and time-consuming if you forget things, climb over clutter and search for things at the last minute. 
Coming home and seeing an orderly and tranquil atmosphere is like a feeling of  entering a sanctuary away from the stresses of the outside world.
 

Provide More Space

This does not require you throw everything away but consider this -- if there are things you have not used within the last 6 months you should strongly consider giving them away!

Reorganizing a drawer, closet or room will give more space. An organized Frugal Lifestyle Champion prepares for the future and thinks that having too much stuff is an hassle. Your life can be made simpler with less stuff!

Find Things Easily

When organizing, put a label on it so you will be able to find something when you want it thus saving you time and the need to buy it again. 
Use containers, baskets, shelves, and cabinets for commonly-used items so they are easier to find. Keep you containers stacked, racked, boxed, bagged, or hung.

Save Time and Money

Make a list of the stuff you need to buy then plan ahead. By doing this, you will avoid buying things again thus saving time in your life focusing and minimizing the time you spent on unnecessary things.

Provide More Time and Balance in Your Life

Getting projects done quicker, delegating and finding things quickly gives you more time for the things you want to do. You will have more time for yourself, your family and your friends. An organized person is in control of their time and is able to schedule on time for the important things.

Achieve Goals

You will achieve your goals. Making your organized plan and lists for the next day, weeks and year can help you get closer to your goals. You will also achieve more by eliminating the barriers and by streamlining processes that take too much time that prevent you from achieving your goals. 
 

Organization Brings Health and Happiness

By being organized in scheduling your time, you'll make more time for other stuff like exercise and eating healthy. Your life will be less stressful. You will have more time for yourself and do the activities you want to do and time for your loved ones.
