Sample of Chapter 1: How Clutter Affects the Brain
We all keep things for different reasons. Some collect things for sentimental reasons, while others do it because they honestly believe that they’ll have a need for it in the future. Whatever your specific reason may be, collecting things you don’t need may be affecting your brain in ways you’re simply not aware of. Just recently, scientists from Yale were able to identify two areas in the brain that are directly affected by clutter. When asked to let go of items that the participants felt a connection to, the cingulated cortex and insula areas lit up. These areas of the brain, which are primarily associated with pain, are the same areas that light up when a person feel physical pain. Your brain processes a paper cut the same way that it processes losing a valued possession. To you, they may feel like two completely different things, but to the brain, one is just as painful as the other.
Studies show that the more emotionally or financially committed you are to something, the more you want to have it around. And getting rid of it might just be as painful as that burn you get when you drink your coffee too hot. Even if you’re not the sentimental type, your brain tends to place value on things as soon as they get introduced to your life. It’s this psychological effect that makes it difficult for any of us to get rid of things. This tendency to hoard items eventually leads to the unmanageable clutter that we experience in our lives, at one point or another.
Whether the clutter is hidden away in your closet, or laid out in the open on your office desk, it can have a negative effect on your brain. You may not be aware of it at the moment, but the longer you allow clutter to take over your life, the harder it will be for your brain to function at its optimal level. Your brain already goes through enough stress focusing and processing information by the millisecond, it can do away with dealing with clutter. Studies show that physical clutter not only competes for your attention, but it also decreases brain performance. The same way that multitasking takes a toll on your overall wellbeing, clutter can affect how your brain performs throughout the day.
