It's a minimalist Monday edition of Optimal Living Daily Episode 780, the key habits of

organization by Leo Babout of Zen Habits on Net and I'm Justin Mollick.

Happy Monday, welcome back, or welcome for the first time if you're new here.

This is where I simply read to you every single day of the year, including weekends and

holidays.

So today's a minimalist Monday edition.

One thing I want to make clear is that minimalism isn't necessarily about organization.

They often get tied together.

But as Joshua feels Melbourne of the minimalist says, organizing is well planned hoarding.

And I believe that we can organize all day, but if we just keep our stuff, it's not as

much progress as it would be if we simply let go of most of it.

But when you are minimizing, it does make sense to organize it the same time.

So that's why I'm reading this one for you on a minimalist Monday episode.

And with that out of the way, let's get to the post as we optimize your life.

When I become loose with my organized habits, my day becomes worse.

It gets stressful and crazy and I can't focus on anything.

Everything is on my head all the time and I'm always worried that I'm missing something

that I should be doing something else.
