The Art of Organization - Many people take lightly the art of organization. Some think it's foolish, others think it's a waste of time. I've been told that I have too much time on my hands to be as organized as I am. I look at it this way. I can be the person who, when I need something, spends an hour or more tearing apart my house looking for it - and doing this several times a day or week with different things. Or, I can be the one who spends some extra time getting things organized - knowing where everything is, so when I do need something, I can go right to it. I prefer the latter. I challenge you to start getting organized. You'll find that much stress you have in your day to day life can be diminished by having order to your time - your things - your life.
