What is your “too much stuff” costing you?
I trust the links my clients forward me to be the best concepts around finding balance from clutter. I love this Carl Richards sketch and the message is clear. Don’t forget the costs of clutter. Here are some examples of what your “too much stuff” is costing you:
- Cost of real estate, space and extra storage to house the “too much stuff”
- Cost of all the bins, hooks, shelving and containers to manage it
- Cost to your health – for most people, it is stressful to have clutter
- Cost to your image – a cluttered office, home or closet will reflect in your image and appearance.
- Cost of time – digging through the “too much stuff” to find what you really need
- Cost of redundancy – buying new stuff because you can’t find what you need in the “too much stuff”
- Cost to your self-esteem – most of my clients are embarrassed and ashamed of their clutter
- ____ Am I missing any??
Holding on to clutter it is a waste of your hard-earned money. Another great reason to get organized at last!
