The short answer is that you save space, time, money, and effort among other things. But to understand why you must know what it means to simplify. To simplify means to remove unnecessary complications. You can simplify your space by removing useless things from it. You can also simplify your time by removing unnecessary commitments. When you do these things, your will notice some important benefits. Here are some of them:
You save living space.
Simplifying your space means removing things that are of no real value. This means things that you don’t use in any capacity. When you do this, you will notice you have much more space. In fact, the volume of what you removed is roughly equal to the amount of space you added back to your home. Also, it is the empty space (not the total square footage) that makes a room spacious. So, a relatively small room can be spacious if it is empty enough. Also, a large room can be cramped if there is too much stuff in it.
You save physical effort.
When you have fewer things, it means fewer things to maintain. It is also easier to have a proper place for everything. This makes it easier to keep your home tidy. Fewer unnecessary commitments mean fewer unnecessary tasks. These add up to having fewer tasks to do, which will save a great deal of physical effort.
You save the beauty of your home.
Many homes have beautiful structures but terrible decors. The main reason for this is clutter. Clutter is the scourge of interior decors and there is no way to make it look good. Sadly, clutter becomes inevitable if there are too many things in a room.
It’s because every room, regardless of size, has a finite amount of space. So, putting too many things in the room means you can run out of proper spaces for things. When this happens, clutter will pile up on horizontal surfaces. At this point, removing things is the only way to fix the room. When you do, the room will go from being impossible to being easy to keep tidy. That is because you can now find a proper place for everything. Also, tidiness is important to maintaining a beautiful decor.
You save mental effort.
Complications increase the number of things you have to think about and remember. When you simplify, you reduce complications and whatever comes with them. This leaves you with fewer things to consider and worry about. You will also have fewer decisions to make and they will be easier.
You save money.
An important step in simplifying is to stop buying things you don’t need. Otherwise, buying things at the rate you are removing them would lead to no progress. When you refrain from buying stuff you don’t need, you save money. You also save money when you have fewer things to maintain. The result is that you will have more money than before, regardless of your income.
You save time.
When you simplify, your home is easier to keep tidy. This means that you spend less time tidying up. With your home more organized, you spend less time looking for things. You also spend less time buying things and maintaining them. Simplifying also means you waste less time on unnecessary commitments. The result is that you save time.
