Main Topics:
Vanessa's Topic: Benefits to Organizing and Having Less
You'll save money, have less debt and be better able to handle tough financial times.
It's pretty simple: less stuff = less money you'll have to spend...especially on off-site storage rentals!
You’ll cut down on buying duplicates when you’re organized and know what you have.
You’ll save on late fees and interest rates if you have a good system of tracking and managing your bills.
You'll have more usable space.
You'll be able to properly utilize desktops, countertops and your dinner table. And maybe your garage too!
Less stuff means you can use the spaces in your homes for their intended purposes and not just for storage.
You'll help avoid "analysis paralysis."
We talked about this in Episode 3. When you have too much stuff it's difficult to make decisions.
With less choices, there’s less time wasted.
There's less to clean and maintain!
Average home 3 bedroom home has over 350,ooo items in it!
Knick knacks and all those other things require lots of dusting, laundering, storage, cleaning and maintenance...and lots of money!
You can invite guests over without hesitation.
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to have them over without feeling embarrassed or in a rush to clean it up?
Having simple routines and "a place for everything and everything in its place" makes for easy clean up.
You'll be more productive.
Start getting organized by having scheduled routines(mentioned in Episode 2): laundry, housecleaning, meal planning, etc.
Helps ensure the “must-dos” get done...plus allows more time to focus on other priorities or those...“want-to-dos.”
You'll have better concentration.
Piles of papers, heaps of laundry and sinks full of dishes are haunting reminders of stuff you still have to do.
It’s hard to concentrate when your home and office are a mess.
You'll save time.
The average person wastes about 55 minutes per day searching for things...keys, files, tools, clothes, etc. That's a lot of time over the course of a year!
Again, having "a place for everything and everything in its place" helps speed up the time it takes to clean up or find things.
You'll have a sense of control. Control = Confidence = Nicer You!
Knowing where things are and when important tasks will get done creates confidence.
Most folks are ashamed of their clutter and therefore ashamed of themselves.
You’ll have less guilt
Don’t you feel guilty when you buy something when you know you really didn’t need it.
It's way more empowering when you can say “no” to those buying impulses and not bring in more stuff.
You’ll have more Joy and be more content.
Striving for more and waiting for the day that you’ll strike it rich will deplete the joy you could be experiencing every day.
You’ll never be content if you’re always comparing, striving for more stuff, collecting, etc.
You’ll have more time and better relationships.
You'll have a feeling of calm and peace of mind.
