As Realtors when we go to prospective sellers' homes and they look for our advice as to what they can do to make their home more desirable, don't we usually tell them "Less is More"? That getting rid of items and downsizing is now the perfect time to do so. This way you don't have to pack it up, and pay more for a mover?
Well, do we take our own advice? I am this year.. and didn't mean too. Now that Christmas is over, and there are gifts from family and friends around.. do you just put them away, or do you make room by getting rid of other items, so these can take their place?
Today I am finding myself opening Pandora's box. All I wanted to do was put things away.. but I'm now throwing things out, and rearranging rooms to make them more efficient.
It all started with putting some of my sons' toys away. I found toys they never played with. so now I've decided to give those away. Next I moved their computer to another part of the room, and am in the process of moving the beds around to make more space available...
What I'm wondering, will this lead to another room? Will this (hopefully) flow over into my work.. and bring in potential clients?
Do you do this too... or am I the only fool creating more of a mess than what I started with?
