As a professional organizer and productivity consultant since 2004, I’ve seen a lot of clutter in the last 12 years.
So, what is the biggest problem I see, and why are so many people having such a hard time keeping their house and office in order?
When you dig through all the reasons people give for their disorganization, and believe me, I’ve heard them all, there is one eternal truth. This is going to hurt, but it’s got to be said. You have too much stuff.
People who live simply, with fewer clothes, toys, magazines, kitchen gadgets and things I can’t mention here, are happier and less stressed.
Think about how much you are spending on containers to store all this stuff. Think about how much more you have to clean. And let’s be frank, either you or someone else is going to have to get rid of it all at some point.
Believe me, you can be happier with less.
