I
often work with clients who find themselves outgrowing their home. Sometimes
these are couples who have welcomed their first child into the world, and other
times it’s the simple accumulation of “stuff” over time which has crowded their
house.
While
I’m always glad to help homeowners make the “upgrade” to a bigger home (and now
is a pretty good time to buy a lot of house for comparatively little money),
I’m also interested in helping them make the most of the home they have today.
Given the amount of time we spend in our homes, it makes sense to work towards
a clutter-free, organized, peaceful environment.
Sometimes
I work with clients who find the things they own have ended up “owning them.”
What we own and what we actually use are often very different, and what we
don’t use can take up a lot of space. Have you ever calculated the usable
square footage an abandoned treadmill or stationary bike takes up in a spare
room or garage?
Recently,
I came across a very interesting guide to help clients and friends “uncluttered”
their lives. Written by Dinah Sanders, Discardia: More Life, Less Stuff is
a handy way to approach the problem of a packed house (and the stresses
associated it). From a review of the Discardia:
“With
three key principles and numerous practical tips, Discardia helps you solve
specific issues, carve away the nonsense of physical objects, habits, or
emotional baggage, and uncover what brings you joy.”
Whether
you’re looking to downsize, feel cramped in your current home, or get a sense
that you could have more happiness if you had “less stuff,” I recommend you
check out this actionable, inspiring, (but not sappy) book. Dinah also runs a
blog (http://www.discardia.com/)
where you can learn more about her approach and read articles on the topic of
enjoying more with less.
