From LoveToKnow Cleaning

Disorganization Leads to Chaos
When you're unorganized, life can feel out of control. That's because it is. This adds stress upon stress and can throw you into a tailspin because you don't know what to do next. Not only that, but you know you don't have time to do it all, and the pressure continues to mount.
This stress is very real. It happens because disorganization leads to chaos. Whether you're disorganized in how you use your time, money or resources it can lead to chaos that bleeds into other areas of life. For example, if you're disorganized when it comes to keeping up with household chores, not getting the laundry done can lead to not finding something clean to wear, which in turn may result in running late to an appointment, or the kids missing the school bus. When you arrive late to the appointment it may need to be rescheduled, so now the time you've spent is wasted. Nothing is accomplished. If the kids miss the bus, you'll have to drive them to school, which can result in you being late for work. This is just a hint of how disorganization breeds chaos, and that's just the effects of unfinished laundry. Multiply that times an entire house in chaos and you'll quickly realize that organizing is the answer to get out of this trap.
Organize and Relax
Just as disorganization leads to chaos, learning to apply organizational skills to your daily life allows you to breathe a little easier. No matter how organized you are, you'll still experience times of stress, but the difference is that when you're organized, the stress is manageable. You know what needs to be accomplished next and how much time you have to do it. It gives you a plan of action and a measure of control.
How to Organize
Whether you're focusing on organizing your time, money or resources, the best place to start the process is a daily organizer. Putting things down in writing in an organized fashion provides an anchor when life gets crazy. Using a printable daily organizer gives you a copy to carry with you that can be used as a form of checklist, which can be added to on the run when you think of something during the day.
For example, if you're trying to organize your time better in an effort to juggle a full time job as well as keep up with cleaning the house, you may remember something at work that needs to be done at home. When using a daily organizer, all you have to do is add the item to a section such as notes or reminders and you can let it go until you go home. Trying not to forget something when your mind is pulled in a thousand directions is stressful, and you are likely to forget what you were hoping to remember. Writing it down helps even organize your thoughts.
