Hey guys and welcome back to the Clutterbug podcast. Thanks so much for joining me today.

We are talking about toxic clutter and I guess what toxic clutter is and how it affects more than just

your home and how it looks and how it's affecting you.

Ain't nobody like. For me the definition of clutter is two things.

You look so beautiful.

And I'm so lucky to be here.

For me the definition of clutter is two things it's items in your home that you are not

using or haven't used in the last 12 months even if it's put away neatly, even if, you know, it's not looking like a traditional

mess, I really consider that clutter.

And the other thing I consider clutter is anything that's in excess. So something that you have

an excess amount of. So looking around at your home most people identify clutter as

the piles, the mess that they see on their

counters. But the truth is when you're decluttering or when you're purging your

home, the things that are out on your counters or on top of your dressers on your surfaces,

that's the stuff that you're actually using all the time and every day.

That's the stuff you don't want to get rid of.

Those are the things that you actually need to keep in your home.

And usually the reason that they're laying out

are because you're a visual organizer or more likely you don't have a place for those things to go.

And usually that's because all of your drawers, the closets, the hidden spots are so full of clutter.

They're filled with things that you're not using and loving

so there's no room for the everyday items
