In the article “Out with the clutter, in with…the calm, the money-saving and more. Surprising benefits of getting organized” (Woman’s Day- September 1, 2009) author Denise Schipani indicates that she was surprised at how some purging and neatening made her feel.
I agree that there are benefits to organizing including those listed in the article: saving money, improving efficiency and boosting mood. That is why I was so inspired to focus my life coaching business around clutter busting.
When we accumulate clutter it causes distractions and lethargy as well as costs you money. Constantly looking for things right on your desk, being overwhelmed by piles and repurchasing things you already own really can cost you big.
While organizing is different than de-cluttering one organizing step you can take right now is to start filing. Take ONE pile and just do it! You can also read more about creating a filing system in a previous post: http://clutterbustingcoach.com/2009/04/14/creating-your-filing-system/
