Everyone wants to break up with their clingy clutter. Few know how. Do you?

Why break up with clingy clutter?

  • Calmer mind

    Women who called their home “cluttered” had more of the stress hormone cortisol through the day, and felt lower by evening.

  • Better sleep

    People who keep too much stuff slept worse in a US study. A cluttered bedroom may be part of why.

    St. Lawrence University, 2015

  • Better focus

    Things in front of your eyes compete for your brain’s attention. Fewer things, easier focus.

    Princeton Neuroscience Institute, 2011

  • Happier home

    The more people felt their home was cluttered, the less satisfied they were with life.

    University of New Mexico and DePaul University, 2016

  • Giving feels good

    People felt happier when they spent on others than when they spent on themselves. Giving is good for the giver too.

    Science journal, 2008

  • Lighter spirit

    Hindu and Jain teaching calls it aparigraha: keep only what you need. Buddhism teaches non-attachment. Both say a lighter hold brings peace.

    Hindu, Jain and Buddhist traditions

  • Sharing is faith

    Daan in Hinduism, sadaqah in Islam, vand chakna in Sikhism, charity in Christianity. Many faiths ask you to share what you have.

  • A fresh start

    We clean our homes before Diwali to welcome Lakshmi. A clear home is an old Indian way to begin again.

  • Clothes, not landfill

    Every second, the world burns or buries a garbage truck’s worth of clothes. Passing yours on keeps them in use.
