Doing things right the first time!

Informal: 

Hey guys..here is a tip: doing things right the first time means saving time and effort. Sometimes in the morning when I am still not quite awake, or when I am feeling lazy or maybe very tired, I get up and look for clothes. Rather than clumsily taking shirts out of my folded pile. I try to first take the whole pile out, find the shirt I am looking for; split the pile exactly where the shirt is; and then take the shirt out. Next I place the pile back together and I place it back in my closet without making a mess. This saves me a lot of time even when it may appear to take twice the time. Well, no actually, because It would have taken me longer later in the day to fold everything again. There is this saying that goes: a person is not tidy because he/she cleans all the time, rather a person is tidy because they don’t make a mess. This goes and can be applied to everything. Things like putting papers back in their folders when they are not needed anymore. Eventually papers and backpacks, desks and living rooms or whatever it be, will maintain itself organized all the time. Now, how is this important to our self care? Well, when we can save ourselves some time, we leave time for other important things like cooking, showering, studying, and doing the things we like without having the extra stress of a disorganized space. Space is critical. How we live affects our moods and our thinking. Isn’t it true that thinking clearly is easier without clutter? For me it is at least. 

Formal: 

Establishing good habits requires maximum effort, but is quite simple when a strategical method is practiced. Repetition is key. Something like placing items back where they belong when we time is short,  is a great way to prevent oneself from having to search for lost items later on.
