I think you are doing one of the most important things we can do for out mental health which is learning to stay in the present moment.

Getting organized is a process and takes time. I can't really remember when I figured out that going bed at a certain time and getting up at a certain time became important to me. I found that my mental health stayed more even if I kept to a regular schedule. I've slowly started to get more organized and have found it to really help when I'm feeling depressed. I have systematically gone through most of the drawers and cabinets trying to find a place for everything. Not only can I find things but I got quite a sense of accomplishment.
