Work at getting organized like a hobby. Set aside a certain amount of time each day (or whatever time your budget will allow). While it may indeed take a fair amount of time to establish order, once it is achieved, you will save more time than you have ever spent.

Being organized will give you more free time, contribute to a cheerful nature, and add to the peace and security of your home.
