How Clutter Can Affect Your Daily Life
Clutter can make a person feel overwhelmed, anxious and irritable. It can affect a person’s ability to concentrate on everyday tasks. A cluttered space can also affect one’s ability to have a peaceful night’s sleep. It has a tremendous impact on mental health, too, but most people are unable to connect those dots. I’m sharing 3 ways that clutter affects our daily lives, in ways that we may not have realized.
1. You Rebuy Items When You Can’t Find Them
While most people realize how frustrating and angering it is to be unable to find that can opener that they know they have, they don’t realize that their pocket book is also taking a financial hit when they later end up with four can openers. Simple systems and having fewer items can ensure that you won’t overbuy and end up with multiples.
2. You Have to Store Your Items Long-Term
Why spend your hard earned money to store your stuff? Most people end up paying more for a storage unit than the value of the items stored inside it. Eliminate the whole process by thinning out, decluttering and creating simple organizational systems. Try and find a way to let go items instead storing them in a storage unit. Your money could be better spent on a nice vacay.
3. You are Delayed and Disorganized in Costly Ways
Who hasn’t missed a deadline or incurred late fees on a bill that didn’t get paid? The distractions are too great, and the piles of paper sitting on your desk are consuming every last bit of focus you thought you had. Creating simple systems, decluttering, streamline and organizing your workspace can help you clear your mind, ultimately saving you from the headache of late fees, and getting you to your deadlines on time.
Organizing to Streamline Your Routine
Having fewer things, and organizing and decluttering your space will free up time and so much head space (and money, too!) to create all those special memories with the ones you love.
An edited, organized and stylish space can put so much joy and love back into your home, that you simply won’t know what to do with all that new energy, time, and money you now have.
