Stress affects your life in many ways. Here are 4 ways to organize your life for less stress.

If you want help with stress, you need to focus on organizing your life.

Having a lot of clutter and disorganization at home, in your car, and at work can create the feeling of overwhelming chaos. This is only going to cause more stress than you already have.

Now is the time to start organizing your life in order to find some relief from your stress.

4 Practical Ways to Organize Your Life for Less Stress

Get Rid of All the Paper

To start with, begin eliminating all the extra paper you keep leaving around. If you don’t ever use sales ads or grocery inserts, throw them in the recycle bin as soon as you get them from the mailbox. Don’t leave them on the counter and let them collect for days or weeks or even months.

Start signing up for online bill pay and cancel getting print statements from your bank and any utility companies that will allow it. A lot of companies now want to reduce their paper as well, so most will accommodate you.

Start Organizing Drawers and Cabinets

The next step is to go through all closets, pantries, cupboards, and drawers and begin organizing them. Depending on how cluttered they are right now, this might be a bit of a long and arduous process.

Try to just go with one room at a time, organizing it over the weekend. Get drawer organizers, baskets, and shelves; anything that you need to begin organizing what you have. This is also the perfect time to get rid of what you don’t need.

Organizing your life can help you manage your stress levels. Here are 4 ways to organize your life for less stress.

Create a Laundry Routine

You can also spend some time coming up with a laundry routine, since this is often where people have the most clutter in their home and disorganization. If the piles of dirty clothes are getting to you, see if you can come up with a reasonable schedule to tackle it.

Begin doing one small load every evening while dinner is cooking, or have your kids and teens help you with it throughout the week. Don’t be afraid to hire a laundry service if you just can’t seem to keep up.

De-Clutter Your Life

There are also other ways to get rid of the clutter and live a more organized life. You can minimize your belongings and get rid of anything you don’t use, including clothes and shoes you haven’t touched in a long time.

You should also go through your garage, basement and attic, since junk tends to pile up in these areas. Don’t forget about de-cluttering your car and office as well.

When clutter starts to take over your life, it can impact your health- both physically and mentally. Not only that, but it may also affect your social life and your relationships outside of your family. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Start taking control, get organized, and reduce your stress levels- all at the same time.
