Yes, I am so glad you're here. You were meant to listen to this episode of the Shalene show. This is part three of the

Declutter project.

Welcome to the Shalene show. Shalene is a New York Times best-selling author,

celebrity fitness trainer, and obsessed with helping you live your dream life.

This is part three, of course, as always, I'm gonna recommend that you go back and listen to part one and part two

Ultimately, we want to be very organized and have minimal clutter.

In study after study, it has been determined that clutter and organization actually interfere with the pleasure

we experience in our life. Get this. 82% of people surveyed.

Stated that they believed their quality of life would be significantly better if they were organized.

44% of people say that when their home is messy, they make bad food choices.

77% of people believe they are far more productive when their home is tidy and organized.

65% of people say they can focus far better when their space is organized and decluttered.

53% of people say that when their space is disorganized and cluttered, they completely lose all

motivation and over 60% of people believe that they would be happier if they had more organization.
