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!

The Cost of Constant Connection

In this era of relentless connectivity, taking an exit ramp from our digital lives has never looked more inviting. In fact, emerging science is now confirming what many of us feel: Smartphones are draining our cognitive reserves, shattering our focus, and keeping us in a state of low-level chronic anxiety.

To see if there’s a better way, reporter Courtney Lindwall shelved her iPhone for a $45 Nokia flip phone. Courtney is on the show today to discuss  the "dumb phone" movement, the logistical friction of navigating an app-dependent world, and why research says our brains are so desperate for a break.

Here's a preview:

[7:00] Continuous partial attention, instinctual muscle memory, and other ways in which our smartphones are working against us

[9:00] Gray scale? screen limits? Here's why the tools and tricks don't work for the vast majority of us

[14:00] Thoughts on our emotional attachments to our phones—and the emotional experiences they provide

[22:00] The psychological benefits of embracing a bit more "friction"

[33:00] Our brains are malleable, and we get used to a new normal quite quickly. Lean into that!
