Declutter Your Mind through Organization and Tidying Up • X15
Have you ever noticed that your mind usually reflects your environment? When my house is a mess, or just full of clutter, it’s like my mind takes on that energy… scattered, chaotic, all over the place. This isn’t just an observation. It’s science. Studies show that clutter can affect our anxiety levels, sleep, and ability to focus. It can also make us less productive and here’s the real kicker for me… it can trigger coping and avoidance strategies. So all that’s bad enough, but our physical environments can also influence our cognition (so our ability to understand things), it can affect our emotions and behaviors, even including our relationships with others. That’s a lot at stake for a messy home. Today we’re talking to AnnMarie Brogan and Marie Limpert. These two friends quit their corporate jobs to become professional organizers and now they’re the author of the book Beyond Tidy: Declutter Your Mind and Discover the Magic of Organized Living.
