Home organization requires that you keep a balance between how much stuff you have in your home vs. how much space you have available to accommodate it.  It’s not about getting rid of everything in sight, especially if it has a clear home and it’s not causing any problems.  Problems could be that your stuff is causing stress, a tripping hazard or financial issues. 

Well, we have to think along the same lines with our time too, we have to be very careful to keep a balance between what we have on our schedules vs. the time we have available to accommodate those tasks.  It’s critical that we don’t overschedule, leaving ourselves stressed, tired, cranky and out of balance with our self-care.  Right now the challenge I have is to be on top of my organizing business as well as taking care of my home and self.

So the other day, even though I had plenty of stuff to do, I stopped everything and went running.  Ok, run/walking.  We are having amazing, sunny weather here in Seattle in February and I am able to leave my house and run to a local lake.  I was out on the road, run/walking along the lake and the sun was shining, the lake had little ripples and sparkles from the sun shining down on it.  There were people out in boats, there were dogs out in boats and it was wonderful.  I would have missed it all if I would have stayed hunkered down in my office knocking out to-do’s!

So, make sure that you continually work to organize your home & organize your work, while continuing to strike a balance that keeps you happy and healthy!
