Lets Get Organized

There isn't a single person in this world that would not want to gain a little time and energy in life. We can make this happen by spending a little time each day downsizing our lives. This will lower stress and leave you feeling satisfied.

We all have things in our lives cluttering up closets that we are sure to never use again. And yet, we fight ourselves in getting rid of these things. After all, we collected these things at one time because we wanted them. We probably even paid good money for them. I think we tend to fight getting rid of our clutter because we just know that as soon as we get rid of something from our lives we will suddenly need it again.

It is in our nature to collect more than we really need. Some of us collect a clutter beyond belief. Others only collect what they think they will need and use and yet, we are still cluttered.
Once a year we should manage our closets, drawers, garages, clear the shelves of the things we have not used in at least a year.

I love the saying "Less is More". I try to remember this when I am out shopping or surfing the internet. I ask myself, do I really need this? Is there something that I already have that will satisfy the need for this item?

Over the years we collect a lot of things. Some people have garages that are so full they have to make isles in order to move around. I have even been to a few houses where people had boxes and boxes of stuff stacked along their walls, having to make isles in their home to get around. When we get to this point we have defiantly gone too far. Even if you had something that you wanted to use again you probably would be unable to find it.

How To Declutter

If you have clothes in your garments that do not fit anymore, it's time to give them to the good will. I know, we always think we will eventually lose enough weight to fit back into these clothes. But by the time we do it is out dated. It's time to let them go.

How about those boxes of mismatched dishes and utensils you have packed away in the garage. Let them go as well. Donate them.

Magazines are just one of those things that we hold onto, thinking that we will get back to someday and read through them. Of course, we never do because we don't have time to read through the old when we can read through the new.
If you feel like you are saving them for reference material, Don't forget that the internet is at the tip of your fingers. Anything and everything you need to look up is there. It's easier to do a search on Google then a search through magazines page by page trying to find that article you are looking for.

If you are struggling to through things our or just give them away because you feel like they have value then have a garage sell. A few hundred dollars or more is always welcome. Then after the sell has ended through it all in boxes and donate them to the good will. I promise you, you will feel wonderful.

Clutter robs us of valuable time in our lives and time is all we have. Remember, Less is More!
