The more storage furniture you have, you might feel like you need a bigger house.

And so what might just start is like buying some extra kitchen appliances and

all of a sudden ends in a conversation where you're saying, I just think this house is too small for us.

And if we look back over history, we are living in the biggest houses in history and we've got more stuff than anyone has ever had before.

And so we're just increasing the size of the container, the cupboard, the storage, the room, the house.

And so the more that you have,

the more that you need.

And I think that's a really, it's a great first point.

And I am all there with you, Georgine.

Number two, useless stuff crowds out the good stuff.

And I see this all the time with clients is because they've got a large quantity, they kind of attribute a value to the whole.

And it might be, I've got all these letters from high school and

and they're really important.

And then they might say, I don't want to go through this.

You say, well, can we just see if there's a few things we might be able to get rid of?

And as you start to go through it, you can actually separate what's really important versus like just

you know, a random letter of like, at PE next class, let's be on the same basketball team or whatever it is, is you lose all the really important things.

And so we find that with like mementos, like I'm talking about, and it might be you've got a whole box of stuff from a trip you did to Europe when you were maybe younger.

You got this big box of ticket stubs and brochures and, but actually within it, maybe it's two or three really important things that you remind you of that trip.

And then I see that when people have their shelves full or photos all over the walls or books all on the bookshelf.
