So – let’s get straight to the quotes, shall we!
ORGANISING quotes YOU’LL LOVE!
Being organized isn’t about getting rid of everything you own or trying to become a different person. It’s about living the way you want to live – but better…
ANDREW MELLEN
I think this is my favourite, because it makes you think about a totally different perspective on getting organised.
All too often we get stuck on the fact that being organised means being perfect about everything – and it’s just not true!
Being organised is actually much more about just making your life simpler and decluttering – and I think that’s much more achievable and less stressful, don’t you?!

Simplicity boils down to two things: Identify the essential, and eliminate the rest
LEO BABAUTA
This quote is a similar message to the first two parts of my ADORE Method – Assessing what’s going well and what isn’t, and Decluttering anything that gets in the way of that.
Organise your life around your dreams and watch them come true
UNKNOWN
This is a great quote, and a brilliant mindset shift! – if you’re just intent on getting organised with no goals in mind – then you won’t ever feel like you’ve achieved anything.
Instead, you want to plan what you want, and then aim for that. This will stop you feeling dissatisfied with your progress.
Deciding what NOT to do is as important as deciding what TO do
STEVE JOBS
There is nothing more calming than an organised home
UNKNOWN
Organising is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up
A. A. MILNE
Calm house, calm life
UNKNOWN
Fail to plan, plan to fail
WINSTON CHURCHILL
Often the difference between organised and dis-organised is the little habits we do each day without really thinking
CHRISSY HALTON
One of my organising quotes! – (I couldn’t resist!) – and I wanted to add it into the mix because habits really do make all the difference.
Once you add little habits to your daily routines, then staying organised will feel much easier…
Organising is a journey, not a destination
UNKNOWN
Another key thing to remember about getting organised is you don’t just ‘get organised’ and that’s that.
Far from it – it’s an ongoing process.
Kind of like cleaning your house. You may do a massive clean, but you know it will need doing again before long.
The difference though is that while cleaning sort of starts from scratch each time – organising gets easier and easier the more you do it.
Setting up the right systems that make your life easier means that staying organised means it’s only tweaking that’s needed as and when life changes happen – and then you’re set!
So – don’t treat it like a proverbial crash diet and go back to the burgers when you’ve reached your goal – otherwise you’ll end up back where you started and it will all have been for nothing.
Slow and steady progress, ongoing, is what’s needed!
Organized people are just too lazy to go looking for what they want
ALVERT EINSTEIN
Hands up if you’re lazy, and proud of it…. I know I am!
A place for everything, and everything in its place
MRS BEETON
Life truly begins when you put your house in order
MARIE KONDO
I totally agree with this Marie Kondo quote, because when you’re home is organised, it supports your life and living it becomes much less stress.
Mess equals unclean to the subconscious mind
CHRISSY HALTON
Alongside great systems and routines, habits are key to becoming, and staying, organised
CHRISSY HALTON
Wherever my keys are….
I hope they’re happy
UNKNOWN
I couldn’t resist putting in a funny as well! – Love this, as it’s so true…
