Here at Closet and Storage Concepts of North Carolina, we believe that clutter can have a huge negative impact on your life. While some people may think that clutter is a relatively minor problem, the cumulative effects of a lack of organization can be quite weighty. With that in mind, we decided to pull together some statistics that show the importance of staying organized and clutter-free:
- We wear 20% of the clothes we own 80% of the time. The rest just hang in our closets.
- 48% of American executives admit to having a messy desk but claim to know where everything is. In contrast, 12% say that although their desk appears organized, they have no idea where to find anything.
- Ikea did a survey of customers in which 31% of customers reported they were more satisfied after clearing out their closets than they were after sex.
- Americans waste more than 9 million hours each day looking for lost and misplaced articles.
- People who multitask are less efficient than those who focus on one project at a time. Time lost switching among tasks increases the complexity of the tasks.
- A typical home contains $1600 worth of unused clutter.
- The average executive wastes 150 hours each year looking for lost or misplaced documents.
- Worrying that their home isn’t clean or organized enough is the 5th most common stress trigger for Americans, with 47% saying this caused stress within the past month
