Decluttering:
What is
Clutter?
Clutter can be defined as any object or
object(s) typically left lying around or tucked
away in places such as drawers, closets, etc.
that either no longer serve you or you have
simply forgotten about.
Why is Clutter
a Problem?
Too many objects lying around takes up
unnecessary space and can be overwhelming
or distracting.
Having a cluttered space can affect the visual
cortex, otherwise known as the area of the
brain that processes visual information.
This can be the reason you have difficulty
focusing on one thing at a time, for a long
period of time!
