The Toxicity of Over-Organization

Organization can be therapeutic and satisfying, but it has also become toxic, driven by internet trends. The desire for aesthetically pleasing spaces often leads to overconsumption, as people purchase items solely for the sake of matching their organizational aesthetics. For example, a mother might buy new spices and transfer them to matching containers, disregarding the practicality of their original packaging. This can create unnecessary effort and waste, as many find it challenging to maintain these organized spaces in real life.
