Clutter Busting
Melissa Williams, HL&S Editor | Co-Owner, Yoga Junction
Anyone who works from home can attest to the power of clutter. It takes you away from work first and foremost and also clutters up your head.
It distracts you and provides you with a way to procrastinate, so clutter = NO GOOD!
Whatever it is, it's hardly a helpful tool. According to Brooks Palmer, the author of the soon-to-be-released Clutter Busting (New World Library, 2012), clutter not only hinders our work flow; it also creates a toxic environment that can affect our relationships as well as our view of ourselves.
Unfortunately, we have emotional attachments to our clutter says Palmer. “We associate a lot of feelings to our stuff. We have lots of memories with each item.”
But as Palmer reminds us, these items are not the events themselves, nor are they the people that perhaps we’re reminded of within the clutter. In fact, we’re more likely to feel better when we have room to have memories than when we fill our living space with cluttery reminders.
