Personality Types & Clutter: Causes & Cures

What are your triggers that cause clutter or is it your innate personality. Let’s face it some people are Type A and go go go and others are lazy. Is your lazy nature a cause of you living a life surrounded by clutter? Does this mean all Type A personalities live in clutter free environments? Probably not. I have read no research making this claim.

Are you sloppy by nature or are you a natural neatnik? Can either of these personality styles change behaviors?

I understand why a slob may want to change, a neat organized person not so much. What if these 2 personalities live under the same roof, what does compromise look like and how does this affect living under the same roof?

Triggers

Triggers can be mental or physical. The mental triggers that cause stress are…

Procrastination

Are you one that procrastinates? Probably, because most of procrastinate the things we do not want to do. I try to do the things I really don’t want to do first. This basically works, except for the things I really, really don’t want to do!

Procrastination is often one of the mental triggers causing the physical buildup of clutter. Where there is physical clutter there is generally mental clutter.
