Did you know that the average American home contains over 300,000 items? This is no surprise because the average size of this same American home has tripled over the past 50 years. And these new, super-sized homes are still not big enough to house all of our stuff. So, what are some of the sure signs that you need to bite the bullet and rent a roll off dumpster to begin the purging process?
Your Closets are Overflowing
Overfilled closets are a definite indicator that you have too much stuff. We tend to hide stuff away, especially when we don’t know what to do with it, and a disorganized, overflowing closet is a sure sign that it is time to get rid of some clutter.
You Don’t Invite People Over as Much as You Used to
According to a recent study, over 1/3 of Americans said that they avoid having visitors over because their house is cluttered and disorganized. If you are one of these people, maybe it is time to do something about it.
You Don’t Have Room to Park Your Car in Your Garage
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 25% of people with two-car garages don’t have room to park cars inside of them and 32% only have room for one vehicle. This is in spite of having a home that has tripled in size as mentioned in the introduction.
You Are Thinking About Renting a Storage Unit
Self-storage facilities are a booming industry right now, and this is because so many of us cannot bear to part with our stuff. We’d rather shove it away into a giant space off-site than deal with making the necessary decisions to get rid of it. And when you take some time to think about it, out of sight, means out of mind and chances are you won’t remember what is in your self-storage unit 30 days after you unloaded it in there.
You Feel Stressed When You Look Around Your Home
Your home should be your sanctuary from the world. A place for rest and rejuvenation, but the tranquil environment is shattered when you can’t find your car keys buried in the clutter, or if you have to spend 10 minutes removing junk from your bed before you lay down for the night. We sometimes do not want to get rid of things because we are all-too-aware of how much we spent to purchase it in the first place, but as Marie Kondo says, if it “doesn’t bring you joy,” why are you hanging on to it?
