Hygge Home Tips: Why You Should Organize Your Car

Summer is coming and soon we will all be able to travel again. I foresee more road trips than flying this year, so if you are planning on take a road trip than this post is for you! This post is also for you if you live in a constant state of disorder or commute for work. Without further adieu, please enjoy the latest of our series, Hygge Home Tips: Why You Should Organize Your Car.

1. Clutter Can Cause Stress

Much like office clutter leads to stress and low productivity, clutter in your car can lead to anxiety and feeling a loss of control. Is that how you want to feel while driving down the road? No way. Make cleaning your car a part of your weekly routine. This is especially important if you are a commuter. Your drive to and from work should be a focused time to prepare or wind down after an exhausting day. Organize your car to create that sense of peace and hygge.

2. Clutter Can Invite Pests

Especially if you live in the country, it’s important to keep your car clean. Mice and Pack Rats love food crumbs and warm places to snuggle. Your vehicle should not be an appealing home. Keep it free of clutter and vacuum up those crumbs after a long trip in the car. It may seem like a burden at the time, but would you rather spend a half an house cleaning the car or find a rat living under the back seat? I’ll take the vacuum.

3. Clutter Can Cause Distraction

Have you ever been driving and had paper fall from your sun visor or a bottle of water roll out from under the seat? Or have you ever heard a strange noise coming from whatever is in your back seat and felt compelled to reach back and find the source? Leaving your car filled with clutter can risk your safety, the safety of those driving with you and other drivers on the road. Cleaning out your car is an easy way to keep yourself and others away from harm. Why risk it? Just keep your car clean and pay attention to the road.

4. Clutter Can Leave You Unprepared

Life is unpredictable. One night you may get a call that family needs you, but they are 3 hours away. You might need to pick up a friend from the bar or save your stranded spouse who blew a tire. If your car is full of clutter then those random calls will cause you nothing but stress and panic. However, if you keep your car organized you will feel ready to take on the sudden change. Hygge living is about being prepared. Keeping your car clean is a part of being prepared for whatever life may bring.
