Do you know why I created a career of cleaning out other people’s crap? Because I love to organize. I have always loved to organize, I was never the kid told to clean my room. In fact, I was the kid my friends’ parents called to clean their kids’ rooms. I believe those were called ‘playdates’ which suited me fine because folding, hanging, stacking – in rainbow order of course, was super fun for me. And it still is. Especially now that I get paid to do something that I am extremely good at and gives me great satisfaction.
Do you know what motivates me to clear clutter and implement creative storage solutions and systems for my clients? The belief that if you fail to live a better organized life, your clutter will consume you. Extreme – maybe, dramatic – possibly, true – definitely.
Think about that one area in your home or office that isn’t quite how you want it. Maybe it’s the front door area with piles of things in transit that never get properly dealt with or maybe the living room is overrun with the kids toys or maybe you can never find that vacation photo without scrolling through 10,000 images. Now think about how much better your life would be if it was the way you wanted it. How much time did you spend thinking about how it is versus how you would like it? My guess is that you spent more time on the former. And that is time wasted.
Being disorganized, messy, overwhelmed – however you want to describe the feeling of not being in control of your stuff robs you of time, freedom and money. Time to spend with your family, friends or by yourself. Freedom to pursue what you are passionate about – I am pretty sure no one’s passion is going through a fat stack of unopened mail. Money that isn’t being spent unnecessarily on new clothes because you can’t find anything in your overstuffed closet.
