It's science! 🤓
"Although decluttering may help with depression, unhealthy cravings, or fatigue, many people find the most pronounced positive effect of decluttering to be a feeling of lightness and increased productivity."
"The more your field of vision is filled with objects that have nothing to do with your goal, the harder your brain has to work to keep each of them out of the attentional set. This can lead to fatigue and may cause us to feel lazy and be less productive than we are capable of being"
"Cleaning your home or surroundings isn't just a physical process, but a mental one as well. Reducing clutter minimizes distractions, allowing your brain to concentrate on more important tasks at hand. The act of organizing your space can also provide a sense of control and order, which can alleviate feelings of stress and promote a sense of well-being. The mental rejuvenation that comes from decluttering is clear evidence of the link between our physical surroundings and cognitive function."
