8 Important Benefits of Getting Organized

Last Modified: July 10, 2025 Sabrina Quairoli This blog uses cookies. It also has affiliate links. We earn sponsored content income.

Many people believe that spending time organizing is too time-consuming, stressful, and unlikely to improve their quality of life. I am here to tell those people, that there is some work involved in organizing, but the benefits outweigh not making a system at all.  Here are three essential benefits of getting organized.

Jump to:
  • BENEFIT #1: You will be able to find things.
  • BENEFIT #2: Increase 'Me Time' and 'Us Time'
  • BENEFIT #3: Be more productive.
  • BENEFIT #4: Feel More In Control When Things Go Awry.
  • BENEFIT #5: Sleep better each night.
  • BENEFIT #6: It Will Make Your Home Feel Larger.
  • BENEFIT #7: Make Your Cleaning Tasks Easier.
  • BENEFIT #8: Improve Your Health and Your Family's Health.

BENEFIT #1: You will be able to find things.

When everything has a place, you will be able to find items in your home when you need them, and in turn, it will take you less time and stress to see them.

Americans waste one year of life looking for lost objects.

BENEFIT #2: Increase 'Me Time' and 'Us Time'

Spending more time with family and less time getting small tasks completed is a perk when you are organized.

Having a designated place for everything will help not only you but also your family. Scheduling your time daily will allow you to fit in a particular time with your family and still accomplish what needs to be done.

If given an extra 2 hours each day, US respondents would spend that time at home with family.

BENEFIT #3: Be more productive.

We always want to have time to read that favorite book or exercise more. A few minutes of planning your daily schedule will help you avoid wasted time while you're out and about, rather than constantly reacting to new tasks as they arise.  These brief downtime moments will also rejuvenate you, allowing you to plan, read your favorite book, or exercise.

If you are creative, you may find that you are more focused when there is little clutter in your life. Creativity comes forward when you are calm and open to it. So, keeping the area clear will allow you to be creative and productive.

Tip: If you are doing two things at once, it is more efficient when one task uses your mind and the other does not, such as waiting for your child's dance class to finish and responding to emails.

BENEFIT #4: Feel More In Control When Things Go Awry.

When you live in an organized home and your life gets busy, you'll be better equipped to handle the curveballs that may come up in life.

BENEFIT #5: Sleep better each night.

Especially when your bedroom is organized, you will notice that you can sleep better each night. Visit our bedroom organization to help you sleep better.

BENEFIT #6: It Will Make Your Home Feel Larger.

Less stuff in your home will result in more space for you and your family. Allow you to reimagine the home to make it more useful to you and your family.

BENEFIT #7: Make Your Cleaning Tasks Easier.

When there is no clutter, it is easier to clean surfaces, and it will be easy for you to move things and dust under things when there isn't clutter around. It not only helps you keep the house clean, but it also enables you to save money because you will not overspend on things you already have.

BENEFIT #8: Improve Your Health and Your Family's Health.

If your family has indoor allergies or asthma, keeping the home clutter-free can also help alleviate these issues.

I hope this list of benefits demonstrates the significant advantages of getting organized in your life and at home.  Managing your schedule more effectively and keeping your house organized will save you time and reduce your stress. All it takes is a little planning. Then, your ordinary life will become an extraordinary life.
