Why Your Home Is Cluttered After Tidying

10 Reasons Why Your Home Is Cluttered After Tidying

 

It happens to the best of us: You have already tidied, yet your home remains cluttered. It’s incredibly, frustrating, sure. It is also quite common.

Tidy homes can often feel messy, even after the work is done. Why is that?

The answer is threefold:

First, there’s a perceived inverse relationship between clutter + cleanliness.

Second, you overlooked some important places (10 important places, to be exact!) when decluttering.

Finally, you neglected the tenets of minimalist organization.

On this week’s episode I tackle all 3 reasons why your home feels messy when it’s clean. The cherry on top? Each simple, actionable step I outline today is designed to take each + every messy space from cluttered to calm, without extra work.

Happy listening!

Pleasure-Saturated

We Homo Sapiens are notorious for avoiding pain and seeking pleasure. In fact, we have transformed the planet from a place of scarcity to a place of overwhelming abundance, with ample opportunities to flood our brains with dopamine at every turn.

But over-consuming has consequences: Exposure to prolonged and repeated pleasurable stimuli decreases our capacity to tolerate pain and increases our threshold for experiencing pleasure. 

On today's show: Resetting your neural set point to make dopamine work FOR you, not against you.


Here's a preview:
