Three most important things in real estate apply differently at home

baling hay

careful organization gets more bales on the truck

 

Three most important things in real estate apply differently at home.

In real estate, it’s location, location, location.

At home, it’s organize, organize, organize.

Not sorting your soup and vegetable cans in alphabetical order.

Having effective, efficient systems for getting the paperwork of (your) life done.

crazy, but the box this came in (from China) is exquisite, uncluttered art – a cardboard box

Saw a sign yesterday that clutter is creepy. Like a frightening demon, clutter insidiously fills us with fright – the paralyzing fear of indecision.

broken ice on Chicago's Grant Park lake front

Frozen with fear, unable to decide

Freedom lies at the end of the driveway or at the thrift shop.

Either throw it out, recycle it, or donate it.

Some material possessions are like poison, tempting me to feel ill if I where to part with it.

Stop this insanity.

An organizational danger we never see until it’s overwhelming

Atlanta airport

too much to appreciate with the short amount of time given to appreciate it

What if we have great organizational systems for all our stuff, but the stuff we have is unneeded and overwhelming to the point of unhappiness?
