Peace of Mind Organizing

A little goes a long way

29 April 2022

I adore the Yoga With Adriene YouTube Channel and I’ve been trying to do yoga every day. (Here’s a blog post I wrote about why I love Yoga With Adriene.) But sometimes I have a hard time prioritizing it. I like to do yoga in the morning but when I have to be out of the house early I can have trouble making the time. On those days, I’ll do Adriene’s Five Minute Morning Yoga. Is it better than a longer practice? No. But it’s certainly better than no practice. And it really is a great way to start the day.

Adriene is fond of saying “A little goes a long way” when it comes to yoga. I got to thinking that that’s also true of decluttering and organizing. A lot of people (me included) tend to let clutter build up before they address it. Or they think they need a big chunk of time to do any organizing. But in fact, if you snatch five (or 15 or 30) minutes and focus on letting go of a few things or simply putting stuff away, you can create some order. Add those little sessions up and you can make true headway.

Next time you think, “I’ve got to get organized!” take a little action. Set your timer for five or ten minutes and remind yourself that a little goes a long way. I promise if you do that on a regular basis, you’ll feel more peace of mind.
