Let’s Get Organized….and Overcome the Clutter
What Is Your Clutter Tolerance?
Here are 3 examples of how you tolerate stuff that is really clutter and the effect it has on your mind, body, and relationships read on if you dare…
Almost anyone who looks at this would say “Run Clutter Run!” But beauty and value is in the eye of the beholder. Although you would likely be tempted to run away quickly, take a minute and review the scene from the perspective of the owner of all this. Perhaps this will help you discover your tolerance for your own stuff.
Imagine this stuff is of interest to you. Well, there’s a perfectly good Volkswagen that just needs a bit of touch up paint and perhaps a bit of restoration.
There’s a caution sign you might use along with a generator that you could maybe use some day to air your tires (after the restoration, of course). A motorbike could be handy to use in the interim.
While this is obviously a mess, someone lives with it. Take a step back and look at your stuff as if you did not own it and ask if it would look like to clutter to someone else.
We tend to think our stuff is valuable while family and friends may feel like they are being smothered by it.
