DOES THE MESS IN YOUR home cause you anxiety? It did for me and caused what I now call “mess stress”. I couldn’t relax on my time off because I was constantly thinking I should be sorting things out. It affected my ability to enjoy time with my family. Either I tidied – meaning I felt guilty about the time away from my family – or I didn’t do it and then couldn’t relax and enjoy the time with my family. Lose-lose.
Truth be told I like– at one point I packed and unpacked eight times in five years – I was pretty clutter free. I kept control of the clutter during those years away.
