Finding Balance Through Order in the Home
Jordan Langdon
What if the secret to a more peaceful family life isn't found in grand parenting philosophies but in the simple act of creating order in your home?
Our physical environment profoundly impacts our mental and emotional wellbeing, with research showing that clutter increases stress levels while orderly homes promote peace and clarity of thought. Creating order isn't about perfectionism but about establishing an environment where families can thrive spiritually, mentally, and emotionally.
• Order in the home mirrors God's design for creation and provides a foundation for virtue development
• Children thrive in predictable, structured environments that help develop executive functioning skills
• Follow the "one-minute rule"—if a task takes less than a minute, do it immediately
• Use Sunday family huddles to meal plan, review calendars, and prepare for the week ahead
