As I like to reinforce in my Minimalism video series, I too am on the spectrum of “struggles with clutter.” Everyone has a clutter tolerance threshold. As a professional organizer, my threshold is low, but the struggle is real. Low as it is, it gets crossed, and I snap! Here is a picture of how I WISH SO BADLY my dining room looked on a typical day. 

The title says it all.  The same goes for offices and just about every other room we occupy.  Any organizer (or reformed clutter bug) could have told you this, but we now have research to prove it!  NPR’s A Cluttered Kitchen Can Nudge Us To Overeat, Study Finds sums up a recent study published in the journal Environment and Behavior.
