Organize + Energize: How Much is Too Much?
Tuesday, July 31, 2018
Being disorganized and having too much stuff will soon become a problem in the home. When there aren’t any systems to contain the stuff it becomes a chaotic, stressful and an overwhelming environment.
You have items in your home that have meaning and are special to you, but after a while the really important things that mean something to you will mesh with the unimportant things. When you walk into your home, it ultimately all blends in together.
How does your home make you feel? Grab a pen and paper and answer the following questions. Jot down any thoughts that come to mind when answering these questions. Clearing the mental clutter and putting things on paper will help you through this process.
• Do you feel like your home is always chaotic?
• Do you feel comfortable and relaxed in your home?
• Are you embarrassed to have people over?
• Do you find yourself shoving items into closets when the doorbell rings?
• Are you holding onto things that have no meaning to you?
• Will letting these items go give you a sense of freedom?
• Are your relationships suffering because of all the clutter and disorganization?
• If you were told that you had to move tomorrow, how long would it take you to pack?
• Are you paying to store items in off-site storage units? How much money do you spend?
• Is there a room(s) in your home where the door is always shut?
• Do you find yourself saying there isn’t enough time in the day? Are you busy but not productive?
• Are you wasting money?
You know you have too much, but it’s so overwhelming to tackle the project and you just don’t know where to begin. You also have to be ready to make the commitment to change and you have to be ready to declutter. You will definitely hit a breaking point and you’ll wake up one day and say, “I’m ready.”
Are you ready to tackle this project? I hope this article will make you think about how much you have and how decluttering and getting organized will make your life easier and allow you to become more efficient and productive. When you are ready, make a plan, break the process down and commit to tackling it.
