Organization is self care.
This is a mantra which drives us at SortJoy. We know from years of experience that organization, like self-care, takes time. It requires not only structure but indulgence. Finding the balance between these two brings a peace that everyone deserves to feel.
An indulgence we like to enjoy is reading quotes. Finding a quote that perfectly expresses a complex thought is beautiful.
Here are some quotes that embody what organization means to us:
“I think everything in life is art. What you do. How you dress. The way you love someone, and how you talk. Your smile and your personality. What you believe in, and all your dreams. The way you drink your tea. How you decorate your home. Or party. Your grocery list. The food you make. How your writing looks. And the way you feel. Life is art.”
―Helena Bohnam Carter

“Caring for your possessions is the best way to motivate them to support you, their owner. When you treat your belongings well, they will always respond in kind . . . I take time to ask myself occasionally whether the storage space I’ve set aside for them will make them happy. Storage, after all, is the sacred act of choosing a home for my belongings.”
–Marie Kondō

“Choose some people to follow to help you feel inspired, but most importantly, spend the vast majority of time creating vs. consuming. One of the best habits you can build is ― create before you consume. Rather than wake up in the morning and scroll your feeds or check your email… *create a stronger mind through meditation, *create a stronger body by working out, *create a better habit by reading a chapter in your book.”
–Marie Forleo
