What is Clutter?

"Getting organized at home will ensure that you make the most of what you have. At work, managing your time and priorities will enable you to provide more value and be happier," says Organizing Professional, Julie Morgenstern. Julie has been in the organizing business for 20 years, having written several books about de-cluttering. Her ideas are about common sense evaluation of why we hang on to our stuff. Here is her definition of clutter:

"A Zen parable tells of a wanderer on a lonely road who came upon a torrential river that had washed out the bridge. So he built a solid and heavy raft, which carried him safely across to the other bank. 'This is a good raft,' he thought. 'If there's another river ahead, I can use it.' And he carried it for the rest of his life. How often do we hang onto things that served us well at one point in our lives but are no longer relevant or useful? Clutter is something that no longer serves you."
