Understanding the Roots of Clutter

Clutter often reflects deeper personal concerns and pressures in life, serving as a manifestation of our current state of being. For many, it represents the chaos stemming from being busy, facing deadlines, or managing health issues, impacting both physical environments and mental well-being.
