I've always been losing things.

　　I'm not sure what exactly ___1 my desire to attempt a more organized lifestyle. I started to attempt to be less ___2 and more organized. Instead of cleaning my room twice a year, I ___3 to do it about 4-6 times a year.

　　Over a couple of years I started cleaning my room more, and I even ___4___ using a planner on a daily basis: It took years to institute these actions into habits, ___5 I wasn't aiming for habits. I was simply trying to be a little ___6 -a little bit at a time.

　　After I ___7 multiple outfits(装束) at home, ___8 leaving clothes on my bed and shoes on the floor, I put everything away before going out. After cooking and eating, I put everything in the dishwasher or wash it by hand. Each of these tasks only takes a few minutes. And not only does this ___9 immediate clutter(杂乱), but it's also much ____10 to deal with one mess at a time rather than leaving it all to turn into a giant mess. Organization creates ease, and ease creates organization, both of which ____11 to lower levels of stress and anxiety! And spending less time feeling ____12 means having more time to be happy, productive and present.

　　Since I began intentionally being more organized, I find I have more ____13 to adopt other new habits to maintain(保持) and strengthen a calmer and cleaner lifestyle. Good habits result in more good habits, which help to create a better and happier you.

If you find yourself worried, stressed or anxious beyond your control, then ____14 what you can-your ____15__. Create a comfortable, clean and calm space where you can escape from the outside world, and it doesn't have to be all at once.
