What is Clutter ?

Is it the same as being “messy” ? Or being “disorganized” ? Or “hoarding” ?

Clutter …. is.... “stuff”.

Everyone has “stuff”. But some people like to keep it….longer than others.

Being “messy” is the “inability to clean up” …. stuff. Whether it’s clothes on the floor, dishes in the sink, old newspapers strewn everywhere….

Clutter is a “collection of stuff”. Some of it visible and some of it hidden away in closets where no one knows your secret.

Clutter is not the same as “hoarding”. Clutter is a part of hoarding.

Clutterers are able to throw things out. They don’t allow clutter to get to such an extreme point that it is debilitating to their lives.

Clutter is not about “stuff”. It’s not about space. It’s psychological.

But avoiding cleaning actually takes more effort than doing it. So now there is “clutter” and there is the “guilt” of having a “mess”.

By breaking down your “cleaning” into one area at a time or one “project” at a time you will have a more controlled and clutter free space in no time at all.

By clearing out the “clutter” you can also clear out your mind.

Remember …… LESS CLUTTER = LESS STRESS SM
