Let’s face it, with all the movies and shows in the Star Wars Universe there are lots of lessons that can be learned from them. But what can Star Wars teach you about organization?
There is Always Hope
“Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You’re my only hope.”
A professional organizer may not be Obi-Wan, but when you are feeling overwhelmed and there is no hope left, there really is always someone you can call for help.
Restoring Balance is Not Easy, But it Can Be Done
“Bring back the balance, Rey, as I did.” Anakin Skywalker.
Let’s face it, it’s not easy to find balance. Then when you do it feels like it gets all out of whack again. In the end though, with a little hope and some hard work, balance can be restored.
A Strong Woman Can Organize Anything
Thank you Princess Leia. Need I say more?
Just Because It’s Cute Doesn’t Mean You Need To Collect Them
Those Ewoks were really cute to look at, and they were helpful in taking down The Empire…but if circumstances didn’t work out the way they did, then our favorite Star Wars characters could have been dinner.
While you may not have any cute little collectibles in your house that will eat you, you may find yourself trapped under the strain of clutter from having too many.
You Can Use a Jedi Mind Trick to Get a Kid to Part With Toys
Ok, maybe not exactly…but I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I’ve tried it. Sometimes you can influence a kiddo to get rid of unused toys.
Pack Things Nicely Away and You Will Be Able to Find Them Again
There is no better lesson of this than when the Lightsaber calls to Rey in The Force Awakens. There it is, tucked nicely into a box, and bam…easily found by Rey. And in working condition, I might add. Coincidence, I don’t think so.
Matchy Matchy Makes an Impact…But That’s Not Always What You Need
The Storm Troopers look all uniform and make a great impact with their all-white armor. But sometimes the ratty band of heroes can make just as good of an impact. It’s the same with organization. If it’s organized and works for you then it doesn’t need to look Pinterest-worthy.
And last but not least we have to take the ultimate words of wisdom from our favorite, Yoda.
“Do or Do not. There is No Try.”
I wish you a Happy Star Wars Day…May the Force be With You!
