Before, like most people, my understanding of organization belonged to the first level, which was the storage of things. Later, I came into contact with the magic of disconnection and heart-pounding life organization, and began to screen and choose items, and at this time, my cognition improved to the second level. Later, with more professional learning and practice, the understanding of Xi has been raised to the third level, that is, sorting is to establish a balanced relationship between people, objects and space.
In the first two levels, due to the limitations of the way of thinking, the practice of organizing is not automatic and spontaneous, but requires deliberate practice Xi. For example, the brain gives itself instructions: what time of the month, what day, and time, do a tidying up of items in a certain place and a certain place. This directive is included in the todolist, and when the time is reached, it acts as you like. At that time, I didn't learn the tidying process, so I was not professional. The preparation before sorting is not sufficient, I don't know how to use the necessary tools, and I don't even know how to take pictures from all angles before tidying. Not to mention spatial planning, scientific classification, self-awareness and continuous improvement.
Even when I reached the third level, at the beginning, I couldn't easily follow the 4 major procedures and 8 major processes, and do every step of organizing and storing in an orderly manner.
However, when I entered the second level, I had come to realize that it was the things that were organized, but it was also indirectly the hearts of the people. No longer obsessed with the size of the space and the number of objects, but go deep into the heart and self-reflect. Is this item really what I want?Is it necessary to keep it?Do I really like this item?Does having it really make a real difference?If I don't hold it, will it have any impact on my life?
In those years, I read a lot of books related to organizing and storage, watched a lot of related film and television dramas, and continued to practice in work and life, and also wrote some texts and developed some courseware. Through these inputs and outputs, the sense of organization is constantly strengthened, and the organization behavior is also constantly optimized. Finally, I deeply realized that tidying up is to talk to oneself through objects, and to get a glimpse of one's own heart through objects. What kind of home and office environment do I want?What kind of life do I really want?How do I want to spend this ordinary life?
Nowadays, organizing and storing has gradually transitioned from deliberate practice to natural Xi.
Why do you need to do tidying up?Because it helps me build self-awareness, responsibility and self-confidence, to go above and beyond to grow personally and as a family, and to make every day orderly, effective and beautiful. This is the ultimate value of organization and storage.
