subject: 3 Huge Factors Why A Person Ought To Declutter Fast Right Now [print this page] No one wants to live in a cluttered, unorganized home, and no one enjoys visiting that kind of home either. To me, there are three main reasons why you should declutter your home. These were my motives when I went from cluttered and depressed to organized and happy
Reason #1 - Stress It is no secret that clutter causes stress. Many studies have proven this. Cluttered environments relate stress to people in them. Can you relate to this? I know I could. My cluttered house can cause stress in a number of ways. I simply hate looking and being in a cluttered room because I feel messy, I don't like it. I feel like my possessions have more control over me than the other way around. It also causes lots of stress when I'm trying to find something or need to go someplace and I don't know where my car keys are. There is a ton of energy, not only physical energy, wasted when you spend minutes or hours searching for things.
Time is the second reason. Everyone is busy nowadays, and living in a cluttered environment eats up your time because you spend a lot of time searching for things. Your home will run like a well-oiled machine when everything has a specific place it belongs and you know exactly where to find things. A decluttered home with everything where it belongs is a huge time-saver. You'll feel much better because of all the time you're saving.
The third reason - Appearance. Did you know that you may actually be thought less of by others if they think you are a cluttered and unorganized person? If your peers see you as a disorganized person, they will think you are not as smart as you really may be. That really is true. Work hard to show people your true colors, not the messiness of clutter!
The key to the sometimes overwhelming task of decluttering, is to start small. You'll soon be in control of your clutter. A great place to look for helpful decluttering resources is the Internet.
