How much time do you waste because you have so much stuff? If you catch yourself searching for long periods of time and saying “I know I have it here somewhere,” you have too much. If you don’t know where to find it, then it has no value to you—it’s like not having it.
You can’t afford clutter. It will deprive you of happiness, emotional stability, and peace. It will rob you physically, emotionally and spiritually. Getting rid of all your clutter will free you up to do more than just housework. With less stuff you’ll have more time to do the things you really want to do. For example, you can write that note to a friend. You can write that book, or you can sing in a choir. Freedom from things affords you opportunity to do what you’ve always wanted to do.
