When facing the Simplification Challenge, a good starting point is the decluttering of your home in which, over time, a lot of superfluous things accumulate that clutter not only the external spaces but also the internal ones.
In fact, it is now widely recognized, as shown by various studies on this topic, that the level of order of our home enormously influences our psychophysical well-being. In the long run, clutter creates stress for you because:
It exposes your mind to overstimulation (visual, tactile, olfactory) which inevitably forces the senses to continuously process unnecessary stimuli
It distracts from the things you need to focus your attention on
It reduces your ability to relax
Constantly signal to your mind that there is still work to be done (remember that objects continually make you silent
requests: dust me, wash me, iron me, fix me, read me, move me ...)
Increase your anxiety level because you never know how long it will take you to fix everything
Makes you feel guilty and sometimes even embarrassed (for example if you get an unexpected visit)
It invades the free spaces necessary to reflect and find solutions, thus inhibiting creativity and productivity
It wastes your time because it makes it harder to find the things you need quickly
