Clutter is not money. Clutter is clutter.
Say you're going through your closets and every time you go to eliminate something you stop because you've just computed that this scarf, this radio, this toaster-oven cost you money and hey, now you deduce you're throwing out money. Sound familiar? Equating clutter for money limits your ability to get rid of old clutter that is no longer serving you.
Clutter has the potential to be money only when:
· You still have the receipt.
· The "return by date" has not expired.
· You sell it on-line.
I say "potential" because this involves actually doing something about it, not just thinking about doing it and not procrastinating another seven months.
You have already spent the money and no matter how long you hang on to this item, no matter how deep you tuck it into the closet, it's not going to miraculously turn itself back into money.
The only miracle that's happening here is you doing yourself a favor and moving it out. Donate it… someone else could start using it today!
Just remember.. most clutter is really only clutter.
