It's also about figuring out like what is that additional impact?

Is the impact in my mind?

Is the impact in like my soul where I just feel like this is so uncomfortable?

This is not how I want to live.

This is not aligning with my values.

Is it impacting your relationships?

Do your kids no longer invite friends home from school because the impact of that malignant clutter is right through to your children?

And if you're experiencing that and you're wondering, do the kids haven't invited anyone home?

Again, you're not alone.

It's a common experience, but it doesn't have to stay that way.

So you can tackle little areas.

You can go back over all the hundreds and hundreds of podcast episodes that I've got and go like, well, what do I do?

Where do I start?

It might be a matter of putting a timer on for 10 minutes and just dealing with one area.

And so what you want to do if you're living in a home where you've got malignant clutter everywhere, which is then impacting your values and who you understand yourself to be and all of these areas is you might not be aiming for minimalism, right?

You might just want to aim for benign clutter where it's like, yep, the house gets a bit messy, but at the end of the day, I can pack it up.

I know where things go.

And that's what you're aiming for.

And so have a think about like, how do I, instead of going for perfection, how do you just have progress in that?

Is it a matter of reaching out to a professional organizer?
