Research reveals the importance of organization for mental health

Who has never felt satisfaction when finishing the organization of a room in the house? Or when you realize that you ended the day having completed all your tasks? Refrigerator and pantry stocked, children well looked after, tasks completed… Without a doubt, the feeling of “duty accomplished” is very rewarding. But is worrying about managing the home and family and the countless obligations it imposes capable of triggering a brain reaction? And, on the other hand, what would be the benefits of a more organized routine for well-being and mental health?

One search carried out by scientists at the University of Connecticut answers most of these questions by revealing that daily mess and chaos deplete our cognitive resources and stimulate the brain in a negative way, making it difficult to concentrate and increasing the feeling of anguish and restlessness.

According to the study, clutter, both in physical space and in the organization of day-to-day tasks, tells the brain that there is unfinished business, and this lack of completion is highly stressful.

According to scientists, a sink full of dishes to be washed or clothes thrown on the bedroom floor, shopping to be done, managing children’s extracurricular activities and many other domestic tasks that are so essential to running a household can be triggers for negative emotions, such as confusion. , tension, irritability and anxiety, as they act as a warning that there is still much to be accomplished. And what’s worse, this effect is cumulative.

Organization is the watchword

On the other hand, keeping your routine organized and managing your time appropriately, to be able to carry out all tasks, such as shopping and taking care of children, the house and pets, are strategies that help, a lot, to promote a feeling of predictability and control over both the physical space and your daily tasks. In other words, keeping the environment tidy as well as adopting repetitive rituals in everyday life are attitudes that impact the improvement of concentration and attention and the promotion of positive feelings, such as tranquility, peace and security.
