clut·ter: A confused or disordered state or collection; a jumble

One episode of Hoarders leaves me feeling like Martha Stewart on a bad hair day — while you won’t find feline skeletal remains buried beneath half-drained paper cups in my house, I doubt Martha would stack her books to the point of toppling as I sometimes do.

Let’s face it. House clutter kills more than cats, including:

• spontaneity (sure, drop by any time! not.)
• energy (does anything sap it quicker than disorder?)
• beauty (even one who beholds would have to agree with me on this one)
• peace (there’s always something to move, clean, or peep over)

Did you know it can also kill your creativity?

If you could use a boost of decluttering confidence despite your own toppling towers (am I alone here?), tune into an episode of Hoarders. You’ll be tweeting your own organizational tips in no time!
