Why do we need to organize?
How reliable is human memory?Think back, where did you put your college transcripts? What was the topic of your thesis? How did you and your ex break up? What was the first published work you wrote?At that time and then engraved things, now look back to think, how many details still stand up to scrutiny, do not believe, suggest that you organize their own things, will find that memory in fact it is far less powerful than we thought. At that time thought to die will not forget things, which only a few years have passed even the slightest impression.
What is the imprint of our life and existence, is it the objects that have survived? No, to the irrelevant people, it is just a pile of scrap, only for those who have memories of this, it has value. Even if it is your own used items, if you lose the memory, then they are also strange to you, useless.
The more we don’t pay attention, the more years and decades will pass, and the later we get, the faster time is perceived. It is the rich memories that make us feel that I existed. Organizing is a great way to awaken memories. Trust me, don’t be afraid that cluttering your space will consume your time, this process of organizing can be very interesting.
Organize objects that have special meaning and evoke an interesting past
The other day when I was organizing my stuff, I went through my old notebooks, one of which was still a diary of letters from my relationship with Mr. L. I couldn’t believe that I had written these meaty words back then. There are also college transcripts, a few of the homework scores are very low, is also completely unimpressed, do not know how to pass those tough math exams back then.
When turning over these objects, those dusty memories only gradually come alive, many interesting things to think of people can not help but think, one thing corresponds to a memory, they lie quietly in the corner, and the memory also lies quietly in the corner of the brain. Maybe you only need to use one afternoon of the world, you can at once fill up your years, is not very interesting?
Organize those warm moments and perceive the beautiful emotions
Family, love, friendship. These beautiful emotions, like nutrients to nourish our lives, is the power to support us to go forward, being in it for a long time, we may ignore these valuable assets, in the blessing of not knowing the blessing.
For example, children grow up very fast from birth to grow up. Busy parents may still vaguely remember the scene of their first birth, but there are years in between that are more or less missed, from teeth to speech, to toddler, as if it were yesterday, and in the blink of an eye the child is graduating from kindergarten.
Parents who have a heart may save period of their children’s growth process of visual data, usually do not go to see, will not care, once opened to organize, watching the child’s every step of change, it is a particularly beautiful emotion.
When I was organizing my bookshelf, I inadvertently turned to the birth diary I kept back then, which was written in great detail, and it was quite emotional to read it. In the drawer of the writing desk, also turned out the anniversary gift of the year in love, do not organize the previous also did not expect to save this, years later to look out, but seems special.
When you look back on these warm moments from time to time, you will feel the happiness of loving and being loved and gain more energy for life.
Organize those traces of growth, clarify the direction of forward movement
Those items that have survived through the years and have been tidied up time and again must have a special meaning to us. Organizing is a kind of review, is also a kind of prospect, review the footprints, you can see more clearly the road ahead, or just running desperately, do not know whether the direction of deviation.
Especially when you sort out the plan a few years ago, and then look at the reality of their own, whether you have achieved your dream list? If not, where are the gaps, what caused them, and what are the solutions? Ask more of these whys in order to have a more sober perception of yourself.
Organize in addition to the actual items, should also include other virtual items, such as your articles published on the Internet, written diary letters, personal summaries, learning records, etc., by organizing and archiving these documents and information, but also to reorganize the thinking, the next choice, the direction of effort has a very important role.
Fourth, often break away, to do subtraction for life
Each of the partners who have experience in organizing, will not find that every time you organize a large bag of waste can be thrown away? We have limited space capacity, it is impossible to bring everything around. Can only leave the most needed, the most commonly used, other things that have not been used in a few years, in fact, should be handled by the treatment.
A house of tens of thousands of dollars a square meter shouldn’t be piled with clutter. The process of tidying up the breakaway, not only make the living environment become more neat and tidy, so that people are physically and mentally happy. And throw away those bad, rough, leaving exquisite, durable, the next time will pay attention to which should buy home, which or forget, so that under the streamlining, money will be increasingly spent on the edge, so as to constantly improve the quality of life.
Similarly, our life capacity is actually very limited, appropriate to do subtraction for life. The unhappy past will go with the wind, why keep those sad evidence? Those who can give up the unreasonable desire, do not add to their own burden. What you can’t forget should be the main goal of your life that you are fighting for, so cut off those branches and go light!
Every time you tidy up, you turn out an object, you pick up a broken piece for yourself, and your life becomes richer.
Every time you organize, throw away a waste, you unload a burden for yourself, the road ahead becomes easy.
Every time you organize, repositioning again, you sort out a thought for yourself, so the goal becomes clear.
Of course, the most intuitive feeling of organizing is that your room becomes neat and tidy, living in it must be a great mood! Let’s do it together!
