Some people say it is improtant to keep your home and your work place tidy, with everything organised and in the correct place. write an essay and give your opinion.

Some argue that it is essential to keep

one

's home and

workplace

clean, tidy and organised. In

this

essay, I will explain why I agree with

this

opinion as decluttering can increase effective use of time and how the state of

one

's

workplace

reflects their inner thoughts. Having a system in

place

will lead to better time management as

people

will have to spend less time trying to find the

item

they are looking for.

This

is because if an object is in the same

place

, the finder will grab the

item

without thinking. A scientific study, done by the University of Oxford, supports

this

phenomenon as the muscle memory and proprioception components in the cerebellum automatically grab the

item

, the subject is looking for without conscious effort.

This

proves if a logical system is in

place

,

then

finding the correct object will take mere seconds rather than hours.

Furthermore

, the state of

one

's

workplace

affects the state of

one

's mind.

This

is because if

people

have disorganised thoughts,

this

will not only show in their job but

also

in their environment as cluttered thoughts lead to cluttered actions, which includes having a structure in

place

for each and every

item

.

This

is proven by the discovery made by the scientist that the external environment has an impact on

one

's own physiology.

For instance

, engaging in 'power poses' will decrease cortisol levels which will decrease stress.

This

proves that the world around us has an impact on our physiology and there is a negative feedback loop at work, where having a cluttered space will lead to a cluttered mind and that cluttered mind will lead to a bigger cluttered space. But

on the other hand

, if

one

is familiar with their untidy work area

then

cleaning their

workplace

will become irrelevant as they are able to find objects with ease.

For example

, a teenager has an untidy room but he knows where everything is.

One

day, his mother cleans his whole room and when the son returns, he is unable to locate any piece that he is looking for as the environment became unfamiliar to him, even though the room belongs to him.

This

shows that some

people

are able to perform in these disorganised spaces more effectively,

therefore

clearing their space will not only be a waste of life now but it will

also

be a waste of an hour in the future when they are trying to find the same object. In conclusion, I believe having a logical structure in

place

will ensure better use of the day and it can even help to declutter

one

's own way of thinking. Even though in some instances it is better to leave

one

's area unclean, I still believe that organisation is beneficial for most

people

.
