Did you know that the state of your home can have a profound impact on your mental health and well-being?


Research in psychology and neuroscience has revealed the numerous benefits of living in a clean and organized environment.


In this blog post, I'll be sharing the science behind cleanliness and show you how tidying up your home can promote a happier, healthier life.


  1. Reduces Stress and Anxiety

Studies have shown that people living in cluttered environments experience higher levels of stress and anxiety compared to those in clean and organized spaces. A clutter-free home promotes a sense of calmness and relaxation, providing a calm and welcoming space.

I have seen how stress and anxiety have diminished drastically as my course participants and clients got rid of clutter.

2. Improves Mood and Emotional Well-being

Research conducted at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), found that women who described their homes as clean and organized reported lower levels of depressive symptoms and higher overall life satisfaction!

3. Enhances Cognitive Function

Have you ever noticed that it's easier to concentrate and think clearly in a clean and organized space?

Here's why- research has shown that clutter can impair cognitive function and hinder productivity.

Studies conducted at Princeton University Neuroscience Institute revealed that people working in cluttered environments had reduced cognitive performance compared to those in tidy spaces.

4. Better Sleep Quality

A cluttered bedroom isn't just messy – it can also disrupt your sleep.

Research published in the Journal of Sleep Research found that people with clean and organized bedrooms experienced better sleep quality and duration compared to those with cluttered sleep environments.


Tips for Creating a Clean and Organized Home

  • Start Small: Tackle one room or area at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed.

  • Declutter Regularly: Set aside time each week to declutter and organize your living spaces.

  • Establish Routines: As I speak about in my course, book, and in my subscriber-only emails, it's so important to develop daily habits and routines to maintain cleanliness and organization.

  • Prioritize Self-care: Remember to take breaks and practice self-care while tidying up your home.

As you can see, by prioritizing cleanliness and organization in your living spaces, you can create an environment that promotes calmness, clarity, and happiness.

Pesach is coming, so why wait?

Start decluttering today and you'll make Pesach cleaning a breeze!
