Keep it simple

As I said on my previous post, this blog will be mainly about sharing our efforts on organizing and other areas of life :)   

Nevertheless, I want to emphasize that, while walking on this path to a more organized (and better) life it is really important not to over do. This is, do not get overly worried about having to organize everything perfectly, to the point of not enjoying your life.    

Our main motto then, should be Keep it simple!.  I don't mean organizing won't take us some hard work at first, because it might mean we have to change some habits or build new ones, but it is important to take keep calm, and do it gradually.  Just the way you would eat an elephant: one bite a time.

Also, you may feel sometimes that no matter how much you keep up on decluttering, organizing and cleaning, your home still doesn't look like the ones you've seen on magazines or Pinterest. Please don't worry about it, and again, KEEP CALM AND KEEP IT SIMPLE 

WHY?

Because the main purpose of organization is not organization itself. We don't have to be organized for the sake of being organized.  We want to be organized so we can live a more balanced life, so you can really enjoy it.

I also think that the main purpose of living is loving, so yes, a good level of organization will help us to love better, since it will enable us to dedicate our time and resources to what is more important in our lives: Putting our loved ones first, generating opportunities of growth and creating environments where we can all feel at ease; BUT when  we obsess about organizing "perfectly"  we completely lose focus of what organization really is and stop enjoying our life.

What do you think?  Let's keep calm and keep it simple :) 

Take care,
