Clutter can significantly impact mental well-being, health & safety, and overall quality of life. This session distinguishes between situational clutter—temporary disorganization caused by life events such as illness, relocation, or crisis—and chronic disorganization, which is persistent, longstanding, resistant to self-help efforts and impacts activities of daily living and quality of life. Chronic disorganization is also expected to continue into the future.
This session will explore the psychological and physical health effects of ongoing clutter, the emotional attachment individuals have to their possessions during downsizing, life transitions, moving and other situations impacting their lives. Practical and compassionate strategies & tips will be shared to support mindful decluttering, downsizing and organizing while honoring each person’s life story.
