stuffometer

How much stuff did you receive over the holidays? More importantly, have you implemented a plan to "delete" the same amount of items from your current collection? Russ Crosson states, "We tend to measure success with a thingometer." Is this true for you? No really...is some measure of your personal or professional life tied to how much and what type of stuff you have?

If you are affected by your own thingometer, or given the fact that I use the word stuff, your own stuffometer, the next logical question is how much stuff is enough? Once you determine that stuff isn't actually associated with success, you can determine appropriate boundaries for the stuff that is truly important. Then you can stop accumulating all other items. You will immediately feel your stuff overwhelm decrease, your stress level will diminish, you stop spending time looking for items because you can find them when you need them, and you don't spend extra money buying stuff you already have.
