Now, I created a little bit of benign clutter.

They were things that were out of place, not where they should have been.

And there was like a little section of it in the laundry of things we had put away, you know, just like our green waste bin didn't need to be on the bench while we were recording a segment for the show.

And so this benign clutter was there.

Yes, it was clutter.

Was it making an impact on anything?

Absolutely not.

In fact, it was actually serving a purpose.

And then once this cameraman left and we reset the house, all that stuff came back.

It was temporary.

It didn't impact on anything.

And it was just part of everyday life.

Another example of benign clutter is the clutter that you get in the after school rush if you've got kids.

So it might be that come home, shoes come off, a backpack is put down, lunch boxes go in the sink, the bench might have some notices or there might be a ball that's come in.

You know, you've just got life is happening in the space.

And if that clutter at the end of the day, you say to the kids, okay, great, grab those school bags, grab your readers, grab your lunch boxes, put them where they belong.

And there is a place where they can be put away and the paperwork goes away and the bench is all of a sudden clear.

By the time you go to bed, for the most part, things are tidied up.

That clutter period after school is benign clutter.

It's life.
