It's difficult to focus on important tasks when several things are competing for your attention. Researchers have found that being around disorganization makes it harder for your brain to focus. Too many distractions; and, of course, there's the guilt around not being more organized.
These feelings can overwhelm us to the point where it is impossible to be effective and efficient in whatever task we have committed to completing. A cluttered environment may create a tendency to shut people out, not inviting them over as we are embarrassed by the state of our cluttered home. This can take its toll on relationships and have us feeling sad and lonely.
Living with lots of clutter puts you at risk for slips and falls. Piles of clutter on floors and stairs can create a tripping hazard for your family and guests. Overloaded furniture can topple over and overstuffed shelves can have items fall off, creating their own hazard. If you have items that you don't need on a regular basis, consider renting a storage unit in St Albert to help reduce the clutter in your home.
Our brain is wired to keep track of only a few details at once for a short period of time, so it can get overloaded when there is too much stimuli, causing poor "working memory." Have you ever walked from one room to another with a specific purpose and been distracted by all the stuff around? Suddenly you have no idea why or where you were going with such purpose. Decluttering your space reduces distractions and may restore your ability to focus.
You may notice when you are surrounded by clutter, or items that just don't seem to have a permanent home, that you gravitate towards the easy snacks; chips, cookies and candy rather than taking the time to create a healthier snack. Decluttering your kitchen can lead to you willingly spending more time there.
Decluttering has its advantages, not just as a housekeeping tool, but as an essential process for maintaining your happiness in your home environment. At the same time, cutting through the clutter can benefit your physical health and cognitive abilities.
If you are not up to the task of organizing and decluttering your home, there are local small businesses that specialize in it. You could end up with a well organized and decluttered environment in as little as a weekend.
Don't be afraid to ask for help. Once the clutter has been eliminated, you'll be surprised at how easy it is to maintain. Also, you may find that you are excited to invite friends over to share the pride you have in your home.
