For me, any New Year or Birthday, as another milestone in life, when you want to rethink something, to put things in order head, and most importantly at home – thin out things and get rid of unnecessary. After all, if a person has order at home, then he has order in head and vice versa. I do not know what the first chicken or egg, but me straight starts, if things are not in place, or their too much and I lose control over them, psychologically hard. Similar desires with thinning occur after traveling, because from they come back a little different, and space is just required some adjustment to the new self.
I wanted to ask everyone if things are stealing your time? In theory, they should release it to us, but not to take it away, right?

Things Steal Time
The more I live, the more I notice that things sometimes complicate my life, although initially called to only facilitate it. AT This is mainly a waste of my time. Look, what alignment goes.
Before you buy something, you need to read about it on the Internet, This is especially true of technology, because so much junk is sold, and without Reading reviews in any way. Moreover, buying a well-known brand and top model, you are not insured at all from anything. Next you need to go and to buy, and if everything is simple with the equipment, you order in the online store and you bring, in the case of clothes have go to several shopping centers and spend a few hours on looking for the right thing, because to find a combination of functionality and external the view is rather hard, there is often only one thing, or an external view or functional. And sometimes nothing at all 
After the purchase, unfortunately, the waste of time does not end. For purchased clothes need a new closet, because the old one is already full, and the closet also requires a long time chain: reading reviews – find the right – buy – build. If the cabinets are not placed in a dwelling, then buying a bigger apartment is required. BUT the equipment requires maintenance, for it has become too clever. To me you have to service 3 laptops, 3 smartphones, and 1 tablet (3 person: me, Daria and grandmother), this is in addition to any other devices, which require less attention. That is, 7 devices where periodically something buggy, freezes, or need to put new applications. Even the vaunted MacBook did not save me from the hassle of all 100% (sometimes you have to do something).
Things take away not only space, but ultimately time
It seems to be everything. And no! Things come out of building, changing fashion, or there is something new and necessarily now necessary, and in the end the endless circle goes on and continues, because it is human nature to constantly improve your comfort and equip home. We are constantly changing the wardrobe, cars, equipment, we do repairs in the apartment, we build and we rebuild cottage. That is the meaning of life is obtained in comfort and in accumulation things (households), because it is for this that we work on 8 hours a day, and we spend most of our lives on it.
How to save your time
Saving money and things
The sadness is that I personally do not arranges. Looking back on my life, I’m just sorry for my time spent If once upon a time I could sit for hours and put different applications on the phone, or rearrange Windu, then now it seems to me to be a sort of outrage upon myself Well, she God, it’s boring. Similarly, do not want to do the car (THAT oil, washing), arrangement of the apartment (new household items, repair), and most of all I do not digest walking in shopping centers in search of clothes, this is the most trash. If I had my way, I would have done clothes / shoes forever, never to look for her and walk for years in same thing.
Think price decides? Also no. It has long been no longer set myself an obstacle in the form of price, and prefer to buy things more quality (like more expensive), but it does not save. Only occasionally, buying something more expensive, you can only save time on searches, that’s all. Any things take time, generally any Only the refusal of something, as a rule, helps imposed. No things = no problems = there is time = profit!
The most striking example – fees on the road. I need about 15 minutes to get together on a regular trip and maybe 30 minutes to get together for wintering in Thailand. I keep all my things in my head (in the sense I remember), and each thing performs a specific function, so I no need to think what to take, I always know it, even wake up at night. And since there are not many things, I didn’t collect them for long; city backpack and ready. While Daria may be about to a few days thinking through some combinations, remembering that her in the closet, trying on clothes and thinking, and what to choose.
I will share the simplest life hacking associated with my gear – buy several identical sets of clothes / shoes at once. This simple the idea was very effective! Buy, for example, first alone pants, you walk in them a bit, and if everything suits you, you should immediately same run to the store and buy another 2-3 exactly the same, while this the model is still being sold (it usually changes once a year or more often). Thus, you can free yourself a few years in advance. time, and in the case of shoes in general for 10 years, if you buy immediately several pairs. Well, and about the fact that you can buy a tourist clothes, as more durable and functional, I think everyone knows and So. By the way, a good option shop Decathlon, very quickly and practical you can dress up, inexpensive and functional things there are sold.
Layfkhak – when ordering online on the website of Decathlon, but through cashback Letyshop service, there will be a return of 2.5-5% for all goods. If you haven’t yet in the course, they have a delivery, so you can order everything yourself home. By the way, cashback can be returned in a few hundred. stores, look through their catalog on the site.
Time saving
Do not forget that the money spent on purchases is also time. Worked a month = bought a macbook, worked one more = bought iPhone, worked for a year = bought a car, worked for another year = did repairs. The chain can continue, as I said, she infinite, it is necessary to finish one circle, the next one begins. Identifying the purchase with the time spent, it is sometimes easier to take whether it is necessary to decide whether there is still time to spend, because time is more valuable resource, as irreplaceable.
Therefore, you can save not only money, but also time spent on uninteresting and essentially useless activities. I doubt that someone straight like to go grocery shopping, or hang around in the service station, passing MOT. On the other hand, from these events so easy not to get rid of, they have become an integral part life, part of the daily routine and life. If you are not at all soaring it, it is of course great, I can only envy.
I want to find a balance! Balance, where things are not leaves even part of life. So that I do not become a slave to things serving them and not pushing their dreams or interesting things back on then. To turn back, it does not hurt to live years That inside there was always a pleasant feeling that life flows right and I have nothing to regret. To ask yourself every day what would I do if I only have a year left of my life, I I could tell myself what I would do the same thing I do now.
But no one says that buying or spending money at all need to. Sometimes, on the contrary, it is better to spend money and save time, although this is more of a service: let the car be repaired car service, phone and computer set up by computer people, sites the webmaster serves, the housekeeper does the cleaning – But again the question is in the balance sheet, because for the services of third parties you need money, which are also earned at the expense of time.
P.S. And how do you fight with this whirlwind? And are you fighting?
