Hi Everyone!

Well here we are a little over the half-way mark through the first semester and we bet that like us, you too have no time to get organized. Suzanne is a social worker/case manager and Sandra is a child welfare social worker in a rural county, and we also have lives outside of work just as you all do. So, you may ask, why can’t we just live with our organized chaos? It’s kind of working so far, right?

We decided that since others before us have shown clearly how to get organized, what to do, and how to do it, we would answer another question; Why? Why should we change our ways now? Well, turns out there are compelling reasons to do so, and some can have lasting effects on our health as well as our relationships.

We hope you enjoy our presentation and find your own reasons for finally Being Organized!

~Suzanne and Sandra

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
After a bustling month of trips out of town, work events, and family issues, I noticed that I had some trouble quieting my buzzing mind. My focus was stuck in disco-ball mode, diffracted into a kaleidoscope of glinting pieces. As a result, I wasn't able to hone in on my priorities-and instead, I gave in to procrastination.

One day, as I put off answering work emails by tidying up my spewing desk of papers, receipts, and devices, I started thinking about how my mental desktop could use some cleaning, too. After all, it's easy to see that a messy workspace dampens productivity, but I often forget that a messy mind can do the same.

You see, your brain isn't built to split its attention in too many directions. It needs to be somewhat organized and at peace for you to be able to filter information into the right mental folders and actually get stuff done. And to get your brain into that ideal state, you have to make space by clearing some mental clutter.

So if your mind is feeling a little muddled, start by using these five tips to organize your thoughts, worries, and tasks. You'll quickly gain some clear space, which will help you refresh, refocus, and get your brain back on track.

1. Listmania

Lists are like the Container Store for the mind-they help you compartmentalize your mental clutter in a thousand different ways. Sounds simple, yes, but adding a few lists to your life really works.

First, parking something on a to-do list frees up some valuable mental room, because once a nagging task is on your list, you don't have to worry about remembering it anymore. With all your responsibilities organized in one place, you can strategically choose what to do next instead of flying by the seat of your pants. (Check out a few of my favorite tips for maximizing your to-do list.)

But, a to-do list alone can only get you so far (more on that later). To go a step further, make a priority list in addition to or based on your to-do list. This is a daily list of your top two or three priorities (it's key to keep it limited to avoid creating just another general to-do list) to help ensure you're making progress on stuff that matters. This is where you choose impact over what you might feel is urgent.When you actively identify something as a priority, you'll be more likely to focus on it like a laser beam through the clutter instead of pushing it off to another day.

And finally (don't worry, just one more!), create a done list to record everything you've accomplished during the day. Then, when you feel like you're getting lost amidst the buzz, you can take a look at what you've done-which will give you a boost of motivation and renewed focus to keep achieving.

2. Automate Away

That being said, a word of caution: When your to-do list is cluttered with small, repetitive tasks, it's easy to get caught up in whatever comes up first, rather than what's actually the most important. To cut out some of those less-than-urgent responsibilities, try an automating service, like Zapier, which gives you the ability to delegate repetitive work tasks to a personal internet assistant.

For instance, as part of my job, I need to keep track of pitches and guest bloggers, so I set up a "zap" to automatically save specific kinds of emails to a separate Evernote notebook. That way, when I need to sort through potential posts, I don't have to waste time rooting around in my inbox. Other popular "zaps" include automatically adding Eventbrite attendees to MailChimp and automatically scheduling social media posts through Buffer.

The beauty of this kind of automatic delegation is that you can simply set it and forget it-majorly cutting down on your to-do list. So instead of interrupting the flow of your workday with little tasks, you can concentrate on the high-impact stuff that requires your full focus and attention.

3. Embrace the Junk Drawer

The junk drawer is a home and office vice and necessity where you stuff crumpled up notes, maybe-dead batteries, and all sorts of odds and ends that don't have a proper home.

Surprisingly, this strategy can also work for your mind: Instead of continually accumulating mental clutter, take a load off by creating a digital "junk drawer." Start by dumping your thoughts onto an electronic page with a tool like Evernote. This allows you to shove all your brilliant ideas, notes, lists, and saved articles that don't have another home into one digital place, which will help you clear out some valuable mental space-without adding papers and notebooks to your actual junk drawer.

And don't worry-with a quick shuffle through the "junk," (i.e., a quick search), you'll easily be able to find anything you need.

4. Manage Your Inbox

I'm no Inbox Zero wizard, but I know I get more done when I don't have to cringe every time I open my email. Knowing your inbox isn't overflowing can save you a lot of mental stress, which can help you focus on other, more important tasks. So, save yourself from slowly drowning subject line by subject line by doing some inbox spring cleaning.

First, unsubscribe from promotional emails (that you never actually open) and turn off those clogging notifications from LinkedIn and Facebook. Then, filter and funnel different types of nonessential email into specified sections of your inbox, so that you can have them on hand if you need them-but don't have to see them every time you log in.

I also like to use programs like Boomerang or Followup.cc to schedule emails and send reminders, so I can deal with emails on my own time.

5. Think About It

When you have a never-ending list of things to do, it often feels counterproductive to spend time reflecting-more thoughts will just add to the mental clutter, right? But, in my experience, charging ahead without taking time to reflect will just make the mess worse.

Turns out, regularly reviewing how you've been spending your time will give you insight into how you got to your present state, how to move forward strategically, and how you work best in general.

So, start making time for quiet reflection or journaling. Think about (or write down) what's stressing you out, why a particular project isn't taking off, or when during the day you're most productive. By unpacking and articulating your zooming thoughts, instead of feeling like one big exclamation ( argh! and blergh! are common ones for me), you'll be able to pinpoint exactly what you need to do to move forward.

Remember, your state of mind is intertwined with the quality of your work and relaxation. So, ditch the disco ball attention span, take some deep breaths, and do some mental tidying. In the end, you'll get back in touch with your true priorities.

If there's one big lesson I've learned over the past decade while training thousands of health and wellness coaches and coaching many clients, it's this: An organized mind enables full engagement in a health-giving style of life.

So I jumped at the opportunity to co-author "Organize Your Mind, Organize Your Life" with Harvard psychiatrist Paul Hammerness, where we translate the science of brain organization into six principles, or "rules of order," and offer self-coaching solutions.

The kind of organization I'm talking about is not decluttering your office or home, or purchasing the latest app to organize to-dos and projects.

I'm talking about the mind's ability to attain a higher order of order -- a calm, wise, positive, strategic perspective -- and the skills it takes to get there in small or large domains of life, including health and well-being.

Neuroscientists are opening a window into the disorganized minds of those with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD,) providing insights into how to train our brains to become more organized.

We know that disorganization is not just a problem of ADHD sufferers. It's an epidemic. I don't know anyone whose mind isn't frenzied, distracted or divided by multitasking a good deal of the time.

The connection between disorganized minds and unhealthy habits is compelling. The National Institute of Aging concluded from a recent study that symptoms of a disorganized mind, namely impulsivity, chronic negativity, high stress and multitasking, all correlate with higher weight. For example, adults in the top 10% rating for impulsivity (most impulsive) weighed an average of 24 pounds more than those in the bottom 10% rating for impulsivity.

Whether or not you have an organized mind depends upon your ability to "drive" your attention and keep it focused when you're under pressure or faced with challenging conditions.

Just like driving a race car, a lot of skills are required. Fortunately, these skills are built into the brain's normal wiring. So how do you start to tap into your innate ability to be organized?

Rule No. 1: Tame your frenzy

Before you can focus your attention, you need to take charge of your negative emotional frenzy (worry, anger, sadness, irritation). This frenzy impairs and overwhelms your prefrontal cortex, the brain's CEO or executive function region, so that you can't "think straight."

Too much negative stress damages your ability to focus and harms your health. The great news is that the same things that improve your health can improve your mind's ability to manage negative frenzy. Sleep well, exercise, do a mindfulness practice or choose the slow lane from time to time, even for a few minutes.

Find your unique formula to tame your frenzy so that you drive your attention to its best possible focus.

Rule No. 2: Sustain your focus

Now that your mind is calm, identify one task and one task only. The brain was not designed to focus on more than one thing at a time. Tell your brain what the intention or goal is for your focused session. Turn off your phone and e-mail, shut the door and set the timer for 20 to 30 minutes as a first step.

Rule No. 3: Apply the brakes

Your focused brain also needs to be able to stop, just as surely as a good pair of brakes brings your car to a halt at a red light.

Your brain's radar regions are always scanning your internal and external environment, even when you are focused. Distractions are inevitable if you are human. Rather than mindlessly succumb to a distraction while in the midst of an important task (including health-giving activities such as exercising, cooking a healthy meal or relaxing), stop, breathe and consider whether the distraction is urgent enough to trump the current priority.

If not, bring your attention back to the important task until it is time to take a brain break to recharge your brain's batteries, or move to a new task.

Rule No. 4: Access your working memory

Your brain is designed to store a basket of bits of information in short term memory (aka "working memory"). Accessing your short-term memory, turning over various elements in your mind, helps you problem-solve, generate new ideas and insights, and see the new patterns that lead you to a strategic perspective.

More great news: The same strategies that allow you to tame frenzy enable you to better access your working memory -- exercise, deep breathing or meditation, and a good night's sleep.

Now it's time to move your focus to a new task. Move all of your attention fully to the next task and give it your undivided attention. This brain skill, called "set-shifting," allows you to leave behind one task and leap to a new one with a fresh and productive focus.

Set-shifting is also described as cognitive agility or flexibility. Often our most creative ideas come, seemingly out of the blue, when we're taking a brain break or focusing completely on something else.

How interesting it is that having a fit and flexible mind is just as valuable to a life you love as a fit and flexible body.

Rule No. 6: Connect the dots

You've learned how to tame your frenzy and focus your attention on one thing at a time. You can handle distractions. Your working memory is ready for action when you need it. You are nimble, able to shift deftly from one task to the next. You take breaks, move your body and shift your focus to invite new ideas, insights and connections.

Together, these "rules of order" will help you change not only your habits of attention, but the way you look at your life. Instead of being stressed, you'll be calmly in control.

You'll be more productive and therefore have more time to do things that are healthy for your body and mind. You'll feel good about yourself, and positive emotions are health promoting. And you'll be able to use your organized mind to set health and fitness goals and focus well on achieving them.

As several studies and a recent poll on this site have indicated, people experience plenty of stress from jobs, finances and other areas of our lives. When we come home, we want to feel like we're entering a refuge, safe from the demands of life. But does your home provide a safe harbor from stress, or is it causing you additional stress that you might not be aware of? If you have a cluttered, poorly decorated or somewhat disorganized living space, home relaxation can be virtually impossible! Fortunately, this article has some information that can really help. With a little work, your home could be another stress management tool at your disposal. Here's why:

Just sitting in a cluttered room can create stress. Whether you conceptualize this in Feng Shui terms as 'stagnant chi', in cerebral terms as too much information for the eye to process, or in practical terms as a visual reminder of how much work you have to do to get your house clean, you probably already know that mess means stress. Living in a cluttered home can create constant low-grade stress and subtly but steadily drain your energy.

Being in a space characterized by order, tranquility, and a physical manifestation of your tastes, on the other hand, can soothe you and help release stress. (This is how marketers sell products from catalogs so efficiently; they are really 'selling' the sense of peace that comes from the beauty of the picture as much as they're selling the products contained in that picture of a beautiful room. This is why lingerie catalogs use exotic surroundings as well as beautiful women to sell real-life women bras and panties!) Coming home to an orderly home can help you feel like you're entering a sanctuary away from the stresses of the outside world.

A messy, disorganized home can cost you more than just your inner peace. If you don't have a 'home' for all of your belongings, you spend more time trying to put things away when you're cleaning up, and waste time looking for items when you need them. If you don't have an organized system for filing your bills and other important papers, you may end up paying things late, which results in fees and additional stress. There are many other ways your mess may be draining your resources that you don't even realize.

Followers of the Chinese discipline Feng Shui believe that a well-ordered home aligns vital energy in your life to bring good fortune in other areas of your life. Others simply enjoy the soothing surroundings that come with the balanced decorating style that feng shui espouses because they are aesthetically pleasing. Whether or not you believe that Feng Shui brings special good fortune, given the above information, it's hard to argue that an organized home wouldn't bring additional benefits, chief among them being reduced stress.

So, while Spring presents a great excuse to get your home in order, any time is the right time to create an organized, soothing atmosphere to come home to. You can simplify your life and reduce the daily stress you experience by putting in relatively minimal effort. This article has some valuable information on how you can de-clutter, organize and decorate your home in a low-stress way, and keep it that way with minimal hassle. Let your home be your sanctuary!

As a holistic medical doctor and licensed acupuncturist, I draw heavily on the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for guidance and inspiration across numerous aspects of life. TCM provides us with a comprehensive lens through which we can view the intricate relationships between our health and our environments, among other energetic connections. This ancient approach to life offers practical everyday guidelines to promote optimal health. And in today's modern society, these guidelines may be more important than ever. A cornerstone jewel of TCM wisdom speaks greatly to the importance of deeply cleaning and organizing your environment for greater health and happiness.

According to TCM, the spring and fall seasons are the best times for releasing and letting go on all levels. In the spring, we can gently detoxify our bodies, minds, and spirits, as well as our environments, preparing for the abundance of new growth that comes with this energetic and vibrant season. This release of excess baggage--whether it's accumulated weight from a sedentary winter or piles of clutter in our living space--allows us to create spaciousness, energy, and inspiration on all levels. In turn, our innate healing potential can arise, unobstructed.

Physical and Mental Effects of Disorganization
We are all products of our environments, and vice versa, since the environments we create reflect and affect our physical, mental, and emotional health. When life becomes messy or disorderly, our physical as well as mental/emotional health can also get muddled and we become less energetic and less efficient.

An excellent example of this is the digestive system. When digestion is functioning optimally, it is a highly efficient and meticulously organized sorting process. A strong and healthy digestive system dictates what to keep as nourishment, where to send nutrients, and what to excrete as waste. As an integrative physician, I find that when patients describe their lives as messy, disorganized, or inefficient, they often experience symptoms of bloating, congestion, inflammation, and poor digestion. If left untreated, these symptoms can progress to more serious health conditions . When people clear their clutter, discard unnecessary items, and detoxify their surroundings, the spaciousness and resulting efficiency they create can offer more energy, in addition to improved digestion, detoxification, and overall vitality.

This process involves not just the physical clearing of "stuff," but a much more subtle process of quieting down the mind and allowing for self-reflection. By doing this, we can reach a heightened level of clarity and insight, as well as deeper compassion for ourselves and others. In this space, we can have a better understanding of where our disorganization may stem from and how to overcome it in order to create a life that is peaceful, spacious, and functional.

The Stress Factor
Over time, being surrounded by clutter slows us down, makes us feel mentally and physically fatigued, and causes stress and anxiety. If we have a cluttered, disorganized living space, letting go of the stresses of work, finances, relationships, and other areas of our lives can be virtually impossible. Similarly, if a workplace is in disarray, it can be difficult to complete tasks well and on time. Just sitting in a cluttered room can create stress, as the clutter provides a great deal of information for the eyes to process and visual reminders of how much work is left unfinished. This constant, low-grade stress can subtly and steadily drain our energy, leaving us overwhelmed, exhausted, and ultimately, physically ill.

We know that long-term stress contributes to many chronic illnesses. Some of the most common conditions aggravated by chronic stress include:

Heart disease

Digestive problems

Sleep disturbances

Obesity

Autoimmune diseases

Cancer

In addition, the clutter that populates a physical environment can encourage an abundance of mold growth, bacteria, and other toxins. These pathogens can cause inflammation, respiratory conditions, and toxin buildup, leading to chronic illness down the road.
Getting There
The first step in organizing for better health is clearing clutter from your external environment. Making small, daily steps to clean and organize can provide you with the space to engage in stress-management activities, such as yoga or meditation, while also bringing about a sense of satisfaction. Studies show that mild to moderate exercise--yes, even in the form of housework--boosts mental health, reduces stress and anxiety, and promotes healthy circulation. Getting organized in our physical world will carry over into other parts of our lives as well, facilitating the ability to make changes in areas like exercise and diet, which tend to need some revising after a winter spent mostly indoors.

With the rising energy of spring, we often feel a sense of regeneration and renewal, coupled with increased motivation and enthusiasm. This renewed energy is reflected in the budding of trees and the sight of the first flower bulbs emerging to show their colors. So take advantage of this naturally arising internal energy to engage in a mild body cleanse, and give all of your living and work spaces a spring cleanse as well.

Health Benefits of Becoming Organized
Organization of our external environment leads to clarity, efficiency, and less energy consumption on all levels of our being--physical, mental, and emotional. From an integrative medicine perspective, these three levels are inseparable. With better clarity and organization, all aspects of life are less congested and health flows more smoothly.

On a physical level, strong organization means better blood flow and less inflammation, less hyperviscosity, and less oxidative stress. Strong organization allows for the right nutrients to get to the right place. We also have better antioxidant protection, which helps beat back every chronic condition, from cancer and diabetes to cardiovascular disease and depression. When we are more clear and efficient, our energy lasts much longer and our health can benefit on all levels.

Once they become better organized, many of my patients report one of the most important aspects of a successful cleanse: the emotional process of "letting go." If you de-clutter your mind, your emotions, and your physical space, you'll undoubtedly experience a sense of lightheartedness and freedom as you unpeel your internal and external layers of obstructions. This process allows for the unfolding of a more authentic, essential "you."

As an integrative, holistic physician with a focus on mind-body medicine, I base much of my medicine on energetics. I am a firm believer that the overall energy efficiency and clarity created by good organization truly leads to increased longevity and better health.

Overall, a simplified, organized life allows you to realize what is truly important to you. By eliminating the physical and mental clutter around you, you are able to focus on the bigger picture, spend more quality time with the positive people in your life, and accomplish the goals you couldn't have otherwise. Clearing the tangled cobwebs of disorganization in all aspects of life can allow for profound freedom in health and vitality. And that's one of the essential keys that can open the door to true healing.

Enjoy a wonderful spring season in the best of health!
