The mental health impacts of your clutter.

I don’t think it’s any coincidence that as I’ve become a more tidy and organized person, I’ve also become a more productive person, a more motivated person, my mental health has improved, I have better self-efficacy, and I’m just overall less likely to get stressed out. In today's video I'm sharing the correlation I've realized between it all, how I think decluttering has changed my life, and why I think it's important. I hope it gives you some motivation or just insight into how the little changes you make in your life can make a big difference.

I used to tell my husband this all the time when we first got married and he would laugh thinking I was joking about the clutter impacting how I felt. When he finally saw how much happier and productive I was after I tidied up our apartment, he started to take it seriously.

Just a comment about creativity and clutter. As an artist when you are creating something you might have a little bit of a mess going on. But if you continue to have your space cluttered and disorganized and messy it will freeze you and create the opposite effect. So if you have any kind of clutter or mess or disorganization it can only be temporary. You've got to clean up after yourself afterwards and the quicker you do it the easier it is

Kallie, I am old enough to be your mom, but I learn so much from you. At 57, I am still struggling with being a “messy” but your videos are great motivation. Thank you.

I have always had problems with clutter, as did my mother and I figure I got it from her – or at least never learned how to live any other way. I’m 75 now and it is still a problem but watching your videos has really helped me get a handle on it. One space at a time! Getting ready to dig into my overflowing kitchen dinette – the last and worst space in my tiny house. Thank you!

Kallie, you are so wise beyond your years. The fact that you have figured this out at such an early stage in your life has been like an investment into your future. Not only a financial investment but a happiness investment. I think sharing your insight is priceless. Thank you!💕💕💕 ~ Linda

I can 100% with all of this!! My sisters house is so cluttered to the point she is almost a hoarder :( and it impacts my mental health & mood when I go to spend the weekends with her. I can’t wait to escape and go home. Excellent points in this!!

So simple but so impactful. Clean kitchen sink for life. Getting up to a clean kitchen just sets the mood for the whole day. And it does lead to other productive routines.

I've been more organized and tidy since finding your channel about a year ago but I've been really struggling the last month or so. This was a really good reminder for me to start making those little good choices again. Thank you for sharing!

[eleanorrouxel]

I finally got rid of all the clothes that was cluttering my closet! Thank you Kallie

[kaitlinanderle]

My husband and I have been watching your videos together to try and make changes in our life. This was perfectly timed for us!

[shawnshannon]

Cleaning your kitchen the night before ALWAYS makes me feel good in the morning. AND when I do lay down to go to sleep I feel accomplished. When I let things go, I beat myself up about it.

[Tbland]

Love this video!! As a former hoarder, you are absolutely correct on all accounts!!

[desireerampone]

Reading Atomic Habits and you share a lot of similar ideas here. The seemingly tiny steps we take to make positive change can have a huge impact. Thanks for sharing!!!

[melindamorgan]

Thank you again for your wisdom. Love what I saw of your new kitchen!! Waiting for the big tour!?

[susandaulton]

I loved the simplicity of this video. Your reflection really brings around all of the points you make. ❤

I LOVE your kitchen; the large sink, the green, the fixtures. Gorgeous, and seriously that sink makes washing up so much easier.

I can totally attest to how clutter impacts mental health. My husband is messy and when I moved in with him, my mental health took a sharp decline - I've never struggled so badly with anxiety as I have this past year (granted some is circumstantial with big life shifts, but when I tidy a space in our home I find relief and less anxiousness in general). I'm so happy I found your channel a few years ago, it gives me motivation to keep tackling the clutter! Also, I just want to say how much I appreciate you doing the research end and sharing the findings in your videos!

[JS-ecbk]

Yes! Thank you ! And it’s true … the good choices require effort and a little push!

[sgwfqos]

Cheers from the Crimean peninsula! I admit that your constant reminders about the kitchen sink really affected my subconscious habits)) I do my best to keep the sink and counter clean for the morning impression!

[xiomaragomez]

Everything you said is 💯 correct. I struggle with finding the energy to just do it. I can plan, watch videos but have zero energy to keep things clean😬
