Visual Overload; When a space is cluttered, it becomes visually overwhelming. This makes it difficult to locate and access items, which often leads to simply adding new items on top of the existing clutter rather than organising it property.
Lack of Organisation; Cluttered spaces usually lack a clear organising system. Without a designated place for each item, it’s challenging to put things away, perpetuating the cycle of dutter.
Decision Fatigue; Dealing with clutter can be mentally exhausting. The more clutter there is, the more decisions you have to make about what to do with each item. This decision fatigue can discourage you from decluttering and can result in the accumulation of even more items.
Delayed Decision; Making Clutter often consists of items that you may be unsure about discarding or keeping. These indecisions lead to procrastination, causing clutter to pile up as you postpone making choices about what to do with your possessions.
Normalisation of Clutter; Over time, you may become accustomed to living in cluttered environments and clutter can become a normalised part of your daily life. This normalisation can reduce motivation to address the issue and perpetuate the cycle of accumulating more clutter.
Clutter tends to breed more clutter due to its visual impact, lack of organisation, decision fatigue, delayed decision-making and the normalisation of a cluttered environment.
