My ideal home and workplace are uncluttered spaces with lots of empty and clean surfaces. For me, even shelves with memorabilia or glass fronted cabinets with pieces of china and Swarovski crystal are a big NO in my house. Some people call me neurotic (and a quick test at Neuroses.org confirms that I’m “definitely neurotic”), especially when I am at the office cleaning up someone else’s desk because I could no longer stand to look at the clutter. Other people envy me because my house is always tidy and it looks like (!) I got myself organized pretty well (or do I just make this up?).
You don’t have to become obsessed with clean surfaces, but just learn to love the uncluttered look and catch and kill clutter in and around the house. You will find that by decluttering your house, you also clear your mind. You will find not only more space to move in, more air to breathe in, but also a sense of balance and higher energy levels.
