Rewards of Orderliness

Peace

Clutter produces tension, which robs a person of inner tranquility

Achievement

Much time and energy are lost when necessary things cannot be found or are not in working condition.

Enjoyment

When clutter is removed, the possessions that remain are able to be enjoyed to their fullest.

Orderliness in the home includes:

*Planning a weekly schedule for personal and family activities

*Budgeting the income to meet each family member's needs

*Learning to take the time to put things back after using them.

*Resisting the temptation to buy more than there is time, money, or space for

*Having a place for every possession and being willing to get rid of personal things in order to have sufficient space for everything

The Chipmunks

Chipmunks spend their autumn days gathering seeds and nuts for the approaching winter. The food storage bins in a chipmunk's burrow are only one aspect of the carefully organized network of rooms and tunnels that make up its underground home.
