The benefits of decluttering and organising your spaces

Clutter free, organised spaces create perfect places to work, live and relax, enhancing and benefiting us in multiple ways. Clear, clean, organised environments ensure time efficiency which reduces stress and is therefore relaxing. Relaxation leads to enhanced creative potential and our lives take on a greater focus and sense of wellbeing.

Read on to discover in more depth how decluttering creates these states of being.

Time efficiency

Decluttering and organising may feel like an uphill battle. Especially if approached in a piece meal fashion. You’ll get one pile of clutter sorted and organised, and another will spring up in another area of your home or office. It can feel exhausting and time consuming to try and clean and sort constantly, so it’s a normal human reaction to leave it and convince yourself that your current system works for you.

Relaxation

The science of relaxation is really very simple - when you know your house is in order, we relax. It’s why when you go to a spa, a hotel or clean, bright office spaces we automatically start to breath a little easier, our shoulders go down and our nervous systems come to rest. Clear, clean looked after spaces simply hold us in a state of restfulness in a way cluttered, untidy, disorganised spaces do not.

Space for creativity

Space for creativity is not just about physical space, it is about the mental and emotional relaxation that then creates the space within us to be creative. Following on from time efficiency and relaxation, taking care of the practical and the emotional worlds leads to an upwelling of creative energy. Being creative is our natural state, it might surprise the artistically challenged. But stop a moment to consider.
