In my 25 years of ‘Organizing’ I have seen an amazing phenomenon. Clutter in our lives, and often in our heads contributes (and may lead to) clutter and chaos in our environments.
With the advancement of technology, and the increasingly ease of acquiring ‘stuff’, this chaos is not going away. I feel it is safe to say that it is on the increase.
The ‘Clutter Cycle’, as I call it, goes like this:
‘Clutter’ in our heads (obligations, commitments, fears, regrets,)
plus:
‘Clutter’ entering our heads (emails, facebook, linkedIn, Tweets, Texts, Phones, TV, Radio, News)
plus:
Easy access and pressure to consume ‘stuff’– (media, marketing, technology)
Leads to:
Excess ‘stuff’ in our homes, businesses and in our lives
Resulting in:
Disorganization & Chaos in our home and business environment
Causing:
Stress and Anxiety in our heads
It is all so closely linked, predictable- and cyclical.
There is no easy answer- BUT- in my life, I feel I have been called to assist in changing these patterns and ways of thinking. Today I commit to blog, speak, write, teach, train and do everything in my power to aid in relieving humanity of this epidemic.
Let us first start with BALANCE. We know it’s important, but how do we get there?
I am going to start with a visual. It may be a metaphor in my case, but regardless, I am taking the lead from my dear friend Alicia McMichael of ‘Alicia McMichael International’ at:

Love the message here that we can control a lot of the clutter in our lives by simply refusing to get sucked up into other people’s stuff, especially through social media.
Thanks for your great insights – always!
Thank you Missy for the great message. Inversion postures can release all of the thought patterns that we are always unwiring in our minds. I love the concept of “decluttering”, it is so profound in my life!!!
AWESOME article Missy!! All so true & I am so glad that you are putting a VOICE to this!!
