What a great point! I’ve seen how too much clutter can steal little bits of time…having to move things to get to something else, or having to search through drawers, or especially for me, taking extra time to find a spot to put things away! I think clutter steals my energy too…I feel so much more relaxed and productive after clearing out a space. Wonderful reminder.

You know, having guys at my house right now painting and me having to move ALL THIS STUFF from one place to another just so they CAN paint… is seriously making me realize… WE HAVE TOO MUCH CRAP! Now, how do I get rid of it all? I have NO problem letting it go — but GO TO WHERE?! That’s the new problem!

Wow, hadn’t thought about it that way in a while…how many times do you re-sort a stack of papers or dust a “thing” that you don’t even like any more…thanks for the reminder.
