Quotations:

“Clutter is active, whether you recognize it or not. Clutter is not just sitting there minding its own business. Clutter is active at all times, impacting your nervous system, coming in through your eye gate, going through your brain, and your processing, not enough white space for your brain even to find some downtime or just to relax or to de-stress because you are constantly processing the number of stimuli that you see.”

“Clutter does have a negative impact on your life. It can affect your mental health. It does indeed increase your stress levels, clutter makes it difficult for you to focus, whether you know it or not.” 

“When you declutter, your home will be a place of refuge and tranquility and peace for you instead of a point of contention and frustration.”

“Clutter can even have an effect on how well you sleep. Did you know that? So you're sleeping and your mind is still processing all of the things around you even while you sleep.”
