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!

Saying No To New

New things are everywhere—and they’re causing us to disconnect from what we value most.

In a world that constantly tells us that new is better, our relentless pursuit of material wealth is costing us money, time and happiness. Worse, when we define ourselves by what we own rather than who we are, we reduce our lives to a single, superficial dimension.

On today’s show, New York Times journalist Eric Athas offers advice for stepping away from the cycle of constant buying, saying no to shallowness, and discovering the right kind of “new” in our lives.

Here's a preview:

[8:00] We're wired to become bored the familiar, and other truths to newness

[16:00] Consumption has costs! (In fact, it robs us of our finite attention, dilutes our capacity for genuine enjoyment, and misaligns our pursuit of happiness.)

[26:00] Musings on the ways in which overconsumption leads to superficiality

[37:00] Put down the trinket! Redefining what it means to experience novelty, growth, and freshness without relying on a transaction
