Do You Have Clutter Blindness?

“Clutter blindness” is when the brain becomes so used to a cluttered environment that it no longer registers it as a problem.

“Clutter blindness” is becoming more common in today’s society, as many people overconsume and impulse buy to keep up with the latest trends. Research shows that Americans spend an average of two and a half days each year searching for misplaced items due to excessive clutter. Experts recommend having as few storage spaces as possible, since people are often tempted to shove things in them instead of dealing with them. They also suggest decluttering regularly and asking a friend with a fresh perspective to help.
