Hey guys welcome back to the clutter bug podcast. Thanks so much for tuning in. Today we're going to talk about the difference between your right brain and the left brain and what that means when it comes to organization. And I wanted to talk about this because I was approached

by Woman's World magazine.

They wanted to do an interview.

They are doing an article series

about organization based on your brain type. And if you haven't heard of this

before, your right hemisphere of your brain, so the right side of your brain controls your cognitive skills like creativity, emotion,

intuitiveness, that type of thing.

And the left side of your brain contains those analytical thought processes, so mathematics,

logic, things like that.

So there is a theory out there that Women's World was also on board that right-brained people so creative people tend to be messy and not organized and

left-dominant brain people,

people who tend to be mathematical, logical, analytical,

tend to be neat and tidy and good at organization.

While that

makes sense in theory, the truth is it really doesn't work in the real world and I didn't want to

insult them but I want you to think about people in your life that you know, those analytical people, those people who are really good at math or science, those engineers in your life, it doesn't necessarily mean that they're neat and organized people.

And in the same sense, it doesn't mean that someone who is creative,

the writers, the artists, are necessarily messy people.

And I know for myself, I'm definitely,

I'm an emotional roller coaster, I am definitely

like a right-brained person,

but I don't like visual stimulation, so I don't like to have clutter all over the place.
