It’s easy to think of clutter as simply annoying, such as that verflowing garage or chaotic shed that makes weekend projects harder than they should be.
But professional organizers say this clutter is doing much more than being an eyesore: in many cases, you’re quite literally paying rent for your stuff. That is, you’re spending more to store, house, or protect your belongings than the items are worth – both in terms of money and space. It might also be 'costing' time and energy.
