Chapter 1: Why People Live With Cluttered Minds

For years, people have wondered if the way someone keeps their desk or home is how they feel inside — and I hate to tell you that it absolutely, unequivocally means that they feel cluttered inside.

Those who are living in a space that is cluttered and chaotic oftentimes feel the same way in their mind and in their heart. Studies have shown that those who are born with that non-linear style of thinking will be hardwired to think more artistically and less organized. They tend to think of starting a project instead of filing the taxes. These are the type of people that would come home and jump on the next great project before they finish the first five that they started prior to this one. They will be the ones that you walk in and find them with papers on all of the counters with no clear organization or strategy.

Those non-linear thinkers will clear their internal space by only spending time focused on how to have the most creative time for projects instead of maintaining an organized and strategic desk or home environment.

Another aspect of why people live with clutter inside their minds and their homes is simply due to the connection that they feel towards the items that they need to dispose of. Many people have emotional connections to the clutter and these connections have created physical pain in then they are forced to remove those thoughts or items from their minds or households.

Even perfectionist will deal with the clutter within the mind or home. They do so to deal with the compulsion to be ready whenever they need to be for whatever they need to be ready for. Many people also feel a need to hold on to thoughts, experiences, friends, and even items that will bring them some sort of emotion that they can connect with on a different level.

Many people tend to hold on to these things that are cluttering up their life because they know what to expect from these things. They are predictable, and this makes them more comfortable with these unpleasant emotions, or items within their mind or home. For instance, what are you accustomed to dealing with in your mind? What mental clutter have you been managing without simply letting it go?

Being overwhelmed with social media accounts is another way that people are allowing clutter to interfere in their lives. Below I will go into more detail about social media and clutter, but for now, let us talk about how many apps do you visit in one day?

If you are anything like me, you may log in to Facebook several times per day. If Facebook is not your thing, so instead you log into Instagram several times per day. Have you ever sat down and actually looked into how many hours a day you spend on social media?

Just for fun, pull out a notebook and sit down with at least 30 minutes to sketch out a detailed schedule of how much time you have spent on social media that day.
