So in this video, we are going to talk about the cost of clutter. How much is it costing you, besides the things that we find more and the most common things that we have found with clients, late fees payments are a huge one. Paper clutter is one of the main credits that we find in in clients homes. And paying late fees because you don't pay things on time could be a source of extra cost for you. Buying duplicates is a huge one. Sometimes if you have clutter, you just can't find things easily.

And it is more convenient to just buy a new one, rather than trying to find the one that you already have. And then when you do the decluttering you may find a few duplicates of things. Not using stuff you like because it's not accessible. That's a big one too. So basically, that's causing you frustration. You just can't access the things that you need to access when you need them.

And that's also it's not monetary, but that's also a cause that you have. It's an emotional frustration cost. It's way more work to clean around your house. So you may spend way more time cleaning your house and if you are paying someone else to clean your house, you may pay them more time, or you may not get your house clean to your liking because it's not possible to do it properly. You may find yourself eating out more like if your kitchen is not organized. If you don't cook very often, because it's not convenient to cook there, you may find yourself eating out a lot.

And that's a lot of extra bills that you're paying at the end of the month. It adds up really quickly. Of course, the mental health piece piece is huge. When you're surrounding spaces are not organized and you don't feel well on them. And you can function well and you can do the activities that you love doing. That's when a lot of mental health issues can appear like depression, feeling anxious, feeling stressed, even family conflicts if you leave to someone else in your home and you just don't get together and undiscussed things properly.

That can create a lot of conflict. Isolation is a big one. One of the main complaints from our clients is that I just can't entertain as I would like to because my house is not tidy because I can't use the table because they can't see properly. So isolation, just stopping entertaining and inviting friends and family over. That's a big one. Not feeling relaxed and motivated, because you have too much stuff.

That's another one, moving and storing things. That's an extra cost. A lot of people have storage unit, and they are paying a monthly fee for them. And that's also costing you a lot of money if you're doing that for a long period of time. And accidents is another one. If you have a lot of planet around, you may trip, it can be a fire hazard.

So make sure that that's safe. This is a graph that they want to share with you because it's very interesting and sometimes we are not aware of how much time it can take for you to find things. So as you can say, if you're spending for example, 10 minutes a day, Looking for things that equals 60 minutes every day, and that equals 2.5 days at the end of the year. Okay? If you are spending 60 minutes a day, trying to find things at the end of the year, that equals to 15 days. So that's almost that's two full vacation to full week vacation.

So I think you can spend your time doing something better than looking for things. So getting organized can help you like find things easier and don't waste time. So clutter is costing you a lot of time at the end of the year. I will see you in the next video.
