Starting a professional organizing company is not only about helping others but a it comes from a true understanding of how our environment really can impact us. I have a medical background and for over a decade I saw client’s in their home environment. I saw how clutter negatively impacts us in many ways and many cannot fix it alone. Here are some ways that a cluttered and unorganized home can cause trouble for you and your family.
How Does Clutter Affect Us?

- Clutter makes it difficult to clean your home on a regular basis.
- It is easy to get frustrated and run behind because we cannot find things we need.
- We spend more money and buy multiples of things we already have but cannot find.
- Many medical research studies show a high correlation between cluttered environment and feelings of anxiety, depression, overwhelm and negative cycles of thinking.
- Organizing your environment has actually been shown to increase stress and decrease cortisol levels.
- At work, a cluttered environment causes increased frustration, poor focus, inefficiency, and stress.
What To Do About Clutter and Tips To Fix It
Here are a few organizing tips to get going in your home.
- Take one space at a time.
- Start by getting rid of things you no longer need; this creates less to manage and more space.
- Group similar items together so you can find what you are looking for.
- Store items in places/ rooms where you use them most.
- Utilize bins, containers, and organizing supplies to help keep items grouped together and create function.
