0:00.0	So clutter, I think it's pretty safe to say that most of us have a little bit of it here, a little bit of it there.
0:05.9	And in fact, many of us have more than just a little.
0:08.7	In a survey conducted by the National Association for Professional Organizers, they discovered that over a third of all readers were overwhelmed by their clutter and don't even know where to begin cleaning.
0:20.2	And less than 10% say their homes are
0:22.5	clutter free. And we're talking physical clutter. We're not even addressing mental clutter,
0:27.4	because trust me, there definitely is a correlation. So clutter can be a complete energy vampire,
0:34.1	can suck the life out of us, but can also drain us of our time. How often do people
0:38.7	spend more time than they like trying to find something, their keys, their wallet? And this is an

1:08.0	I find myself wondering if I did in fact have an organizational system in my closet,
1:12.5	would have been able to find my shirt a little bit quicker? Would my stress level be a tiny bit
1:16.9	lower? Would I have made it to my office a little bit sooner? And would I have been able to spend
1:20.8	a little more time on this intro, making the entire podcast episode just a little bit better?
1:26.3	So coming up on today's episode of the virtual
1:28.1	couch, we're going to talk with Anna. She is a professional organizer. And while I absolutely
