“I don’t have time for organization.”

“I can’t throw this away.”

“The mess never seems to end.”

Hey, I get it. Organization is sometimes a real pain. If it’s your house, why not just arrange it the way you want to and not worry about whether everything has storage? Why is it important to make my closet look new again?

Well, the truth is that if you don’t get organized, you eventually lose control, and both your home and your life suffer along with you. Why would you want something you worked so hard for to look like it was thrown together at the last possible minute?

This is what I tell myself when I don’t feel like organizing, and sometimes, it just isn’t enough. To help get you motivated, I’ve put together ten organization quotes to live by every day, with some names you’ll almost certainly recognize.

See, life may seem crazy, and yes, the cleanup cycle never seems to end, especially with kiddos running around like a herd of elephants.

Let’s put it this way, though.

If a president, first lady, talk show billionaire, and home styling legend (and that’s only four out of ten!) could still find ways to keep organized in spite of their busy routines…

So could you.
