Get Organized Day

Get Organized Day is an annual American holiday dedicated to tidying up your office and home. Organize your space to make it comfortable and convenient. It is celebrated on April 26.

History

The origins of Get Organized Day are unknown. Many of us tend to let our homes or workplaces become cluttered, often postponing the task of cleaning up. The desire to relax and deal with the mess “tomorrow” often takes precedence.

This holiday encourages all clutter lovers to finally find the time and motivation to do a thorough cleaning of their homes—whether it’s decluttering the closet, organizing the pantry, or tidying up the garage. The workplace also deserves attention: gather all office supplies in one place, organize necessary documents in a separate folder, and so on.

Interesting Facts

• Psychologists say that maintaining order at home and in the workplace improves productivity and reduces fatigue.
• Cleaning can boost your mood, as the act of organizing and seeing the results can trigger the release of dopamine, giving you a sense of accomplishment.
• On average, if you clean regularly (for example, once a week), it will become a habit and easier to maintain.

How to Celebrate

Clean up your home and workplace. You could also organize a community clean-up day by gathering neighbors to help clean up public spaces.

Spread the word about the holiday on social media. Ask your followers how often they clean up.
