Could Your Disorganized Home be Hurting Your Personal Health + Wellness?

We know that home organization is a top priority for our personal health and wellness, but we wanted to share some statistics with you to put in perspective just how important getting rid of clutter and having organization systems in your home is.

• It’s estimated we’ll each spend 3,680 hours in our lifetime searching for misplaced items. (The Daily Mail)

• In the average home, getting rid of clutter would eliminate approximately 40% of housework (Soap and Detergent Association study)

• The average U.S. home has approximately 300,000 things (L.A. Times)

• Worrying their home isn’t clean or organized enough is the 5th most common stress trigger for Americans. 47% say this caused stress within the past month (Huffington Post survey)

• It is estimated that 80% of your clothes are only worn 20% of the time (National Association of Professional Organizers study)

• Phones, keys, sunglasses, and paperwork are the most commonly misplaced items in homes (The Daily Mail)

Now imagine if you had a space for every item in your home, where your items never got lost (well, maybe not never; we are all guilty of losing our phones from time to time) and you didn’t have the fear of your home not being clean enough to have guests over. This is where a professional organizer comes in. We want to take this weight off your shoulders to allow you the opportunity to finally feel at peace in your space.
