Organization & Financial Peace

In today’s world, as we all move so quickly, working to tackle the days to do list, we

often put off certain things that feel too overwhelming. For many, finances fall into that

category and get recycled onto tomorrows to do list.

There is a level of stress that comes from putting off financial organization. Regardless

of our relationship with money or even how many dollars or assets we have, if our

finances are unorganized, it creates stress. Creating financial peace is possible and we

do not have to be perfect. The goal is to create clarity and minimize stress.

Financial disorganization will look different for everyone. Things like avoiding looking at

our financial statements or apps, leaving mail unopened, a pile of unorganized receipts

or not knowing logins for accounts. The “deal with it later” attitude creates stress

surrounding finances.

First and foremost, we need to understand where our money is going. What is going out

and what is coming in and when. This gives us clarity to make more informed decisions

about our money. Organization surrounding our finances creates a more predictable

and controlled situation. Which in turn reduces stress.

A great way to avoid clutter and financial disorganization is to create systems to stay on

track. One example is to set aside 15 minutes a day or even a one hour block once a

week to make sure that our documents, mail and bills are in order by staying on top of

bill payments and getting our receipts organized. This will help us avoid all these tasks

from piling up causing us to feel overwhelmed with no way to get ahead!

There are many digital products to help keep us organized and on track. Also, being

financially on track, does not require hours spent in front of the computer or hours spent

updating spreadsheets to get organized. Breaking this work down to a few small steps

each day and week can get us the financial peace we desperately deserve.

If you need help staying on track or keeping your personal or business expenses

organized, hiring a bookkeeper is a great option as well. Seeking professional help will

free up time and reduce stress leaving time to focus on more enjoyable things.
