Get Clutter-Clear for a Happier New Year

Winter is a perfect time to putter through your clutter. Fifteen minutes a day or two hours a week is good. It's not torture if you pace yourself over time. But you do need to make time to make progress. Why bother, you say?

Make or Save Money. Clearing clutter saves or makes $1000s in found money, selling or returning items, and preventing duplicate spending. It adds up! Too late to return item? Don't like your holiday present? Save money or space, and feel good by gifting it to someone who'll love it.

Feel Better Every Day.  If it makes you feel bad, it's clutter. For example, it was too easy for my client to watch too much TV, which only depressed him and stole his time. TV had become clutter and had to go. After initial 3 days of shock and aimlessness, no TV was a "relief." He instantly had more time for what was important to him: PLEASURE. For him, that meant reading and learning, friends and family. Happy New Year!

Find What You Treasure: You find things you love, decide what to keep, and make room for what you treasure. You don't have to have all the answers before you start. You figure it out as you go. There are things to learn, but persevere. We all need help along the way, especially in the beginning. By starting now, you can replace your clutter with more comfort, control, and clarity in the New Year.

Whether a TV, unwanted gifts or all those papers, making time to clear your clutter is worth it's weight in gold.
