Benefits include:

• time management: when you know where everything is, you don't have to spend time finding things. When you have an organizational system in place, it is faster and easier to clean up after yourself.

•  financial savings: when everything is in its home, things are less likely to get broken and then replaced. In addition, you are less likely to buy something you already have but can't find or forgot you had.

• peace of mind: psychologically, having a cluttered home/office adds stress and an added lingering weight even as you go about your day. When everything is tidy, you are free to focus on your tasks and activities in front of you.
