Homeowners interested in healthy living and sustainability have an easy and satisfying way to help reach those goals. Living in an organized home relieves stress, and saves time and money. It also eliminates the need to consume fuel and make wasteful purchases to replace misplaced items that a homeowner actually has at home.

A 2008 consumer study by the National Association of Professional Organizers found that more than half of respondents would save upwards of 16 minutes to one hour a day if they were more organized. That translates into anywhere from two to 15 days a year being wasted.

Imagine having 15 more days a year to spend doing what you enjoy the most. Living a more organized life not only saves time, it's a better scenario for mental and physical health than chaotically triple-checking rooms for a missing checkbook, or hunting for something critically needed.

Homeowners that go from knowing "it's somewhere," to knowing "exactly where," live a more efficient and less stressful lifestyle. "If you're organized, you're already thinking sustainably. Sustainability is ultimately a quest to live in a healthier household, community and global environment. Being organized is a good start towards achieving that goal and is an element of living sustainably that is often overlooked. There are solutions that can create efficiency and save space in a homeowner's closet, kitchen, garage, pantry, laundry and home office. Custom-designed organization systems are available that can be built to meet the homeowners’ exact organization requirements, and also their aesthetic needs with a range of styles and finishes.

By having a well designed space, you gain efficiency and ultimately there will be less waste. It becomes easy to be a more intentional consumer - seeing what you have in your pantry, closet or garage for example, can eliminate duplicate purchases. And by integrating organizing systems for recycling and charity donations, it makes the process simple and can become part of your daily or weekly routine.
