  • Hey everybody, it's Marielle.

  • I have a series of hooks by my front door for coats and stuff, and there are five hooks.

  • You know, you'd think that would be enough, but somehow all five of them are dragging under the weight of my stuff.

  • Tote bags, backpacks, my leather jacket, my wool coat, my puffer jacket, a hoodie, my denim jacket, that red leather purse that I never actually used.

  • The clutter, it just piles up at the front door, on the table, on the desk, on that chair in my bedroom that's never available for sitting star.

  • Hanson is a certified professional organizer and she says all of this stuff is trying to tell me something.

  • Clutter does speak to us.

  • Clutter is talking to us because we are talking to ourselves through our clutter.

  • And so what becomes clutter and where your clutter accumulates says a lot about what's going on with you.

  • Maybe you're a busy parent or you're up against too many deadlines at work or you're going through a health challenge.

  • Clutter looks like anything you can imagine.

  • Clutter looks like the way we talk to ourselves.

  • It looks like our calendar.

  • It looks like our Netflix queue.
