Store That: Why Clutter Causes Stress and What Can Be Done About It!
The majority of us are guilty of owning items we just can’t bring ourselves to throw away, even if we haven’t used them in months or years. However a cluttered home could actually be bad for your health, according to scientific research. We’re all familiar with the phrase “a tidy house is a tidy mind”, and studies have shown that this is in fact true! Research has demonstrated that excess items in your surroundings can have a negative impact on your ability to focus and process information. A cluttered home can also really eat into your time – think of all the minutes wasted searching for items that aren’t in the right place, as well as the added stress of losing something.
Neuroscientists at Princeton University studied people’s performance in organised and disorganised environments. The results demonstrated that excess clutter in your surroundings actually competes for your attention and results in decreased performance and increased stress levels, as well as impairing ability to think creatively. This means that by having a good clear out and organising your belongings, you could actually improve the way you think, while reducing your stress levels.
