10 Organization Quotes to Live By

February 18, 2022 · In: Lifestyle

Ten quotes to help you get motivated to get your home and life more organized and actually keep it that way this time.

“I don’t have time for organization.” 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.

10 Motivational Quotes To Get Organized

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 can you.

    My hubby, dear heart that he is, is not a naturally organized person. Okay, he’s a walking clutter machine! He had our office looking like a bomb had gone off in there! I’ve been decluttering & organizing my way through the house, so I asked him if he could just put up/throw away 5 things everyday. Well, he has & now you can see there’s wood flooring in there! And a desk! In the past, asking him to “clean up in there” never got through to him. I guess just like us, men feel overwhelmed, too. (Duh! LOL) Five things a day felt like nothing, so it’s been very doable. He’s so proud of himself, sometimes he’ll come out w/ an armful and say got more than 5 this time! It’s surprisingly turned into a “thing” with us & now he’s pitching in all over the house. Naturally, I’M happier. That makes him happy that I’m happy! That’s the kind of cycle I can live with, let me tell you! 😁

      Yay! This makes us so happy, and yes, little cycles like that are exactly how we regain momentum ourselves. It’s a lot easier to start with one desk drawer, for example, than tackling the entire office. So glad he’s gotten into the habit with you now.

Wait for the last one… 🤩 Sherry @younghousel Wait for the last one… 🤩
Sherry @younghouselove downsized quite a bit a few years ago and it proving that you CAN be organized in a small home with kids and pets. Didn’t she do an amazing job with all these spaces?
Pretty sure she was being modest with her grade prediction because I’d give her a definite A!
Which organized space of hers is your favorite? I’m in LOVE with her laundry closet! 🥰
She buys most of her organizers from Amazon and Ikea and you can tour her whole house on her blog, YouTube, and IG Story highlights. Sherry is one of my BFFs so if you aren’t already following her, do it now! Her Story content is the most entertaining part of my day. 🙌🏼
Do you pack minimally or overpack when you travel? Do you pack minimally or overpack when you travel?
I used to be that person that packed WAY more than I needed and was always overwhelmed with a messy suitcase halfway through my trip. When I started downsizing the clothes I packed to just what I needed, I spent less time picking out what to wear and cleaning up messy piles, and more time enjoying my trips.
But I’ll admit, if I could bring my whole sneaker collection with me so I’d have all the options, I totally would. 😂😂

It also works well on door panels, picture frame moulding, chair rails, and even gets those hairs off back of the toilet that tend to stick and slide around when cleaning. 🙌🏼

Do you have a command center in your house? If you Do you have a command center in your house? If you’ve been planning on adding one, here are three tips for customizing it so it works for you:
1. Add a calendar so the whole family is on the same page about what’s going on that month.
2. Decide what needs to be stored in your command center and add storage based on those needs. Don’t worry about what other people use or keep in their own command center because we all live different lives and need different things.
3. Don’t try to make your family change their habits. If they’re used to dropping keys on the counter, a hook may not work for them. Instead, give them a bowl or tray to drop keys in. And if they’re used to sticking reminders on the fridge, add a bulletin or magnet board so they can put them there. Work *with* your family’s habits, not against them.
See the full project and get more command center setup tips in my newest YouTube video. All the product sources I used here are saved in the description of that video too. 🙌🏼
