In case you didn’t already know, being organized is being healthy. Decluttering is beneficial from all types of health perspectives, including better physical health and improved mental states.
So let’s take a look at those benefits in a little more detail.
Organizing Helps Your Physical Health
Organizing helps us get healthy from a physical standpoint because it forces us to get active and move about the house through the process of putting things back where they belong (or throwing them out).
It also relieves stress, which can take a considerable toll on our physical health. Stress has been linked to the leading causes of death, including heart disease, cancer, lung ailments, and accidents, according to the American Psychological Association.
Decluttering Also Sharpens Our Mental State
Of course, physical health is only half the picture. The untidiness of our homes often takes an invisible toll on our health through our mental state. Being presented continuously with piles of clutter such as children’s toys, or the growing collection of unused sporting equipment in the garage can harm our mental capacity.
According to one Princeton study, being greeted by an organized and clean house every day can not only promote good mental health, but it can make us more productive too. Without the distraction provided by clutter, you can knuckle down and focus on the task at hand, increasing your output and satisfaction.
