Clutter is defined as a crowded or confused mass or collection. First of all, I find that an interesting definition. Most of the time I think of clutter as things or inanimate objects. How do things become confused? Is the definition stating that we are confused about what is making up the clutter. Are we confused because we don’t know how it all got there? Most clutter takes a while to really get our attention. Not a lot of us will go out to a Goodwill or similar store and buy a bunch of cheap things we do not need, dumping them in the garage and/or basement to take up a lot of space. There is no question the number one place for clutter is the garage. How many houses have you seen that have two or more car garages and the cars have to sit in the driveway because the garages are filled with clutter. The number 2 place is the basement. Then you have people that have clutter EVERYWHERE. Clutter does have a positive quality about it because it gives the people in the mental health field something to think about. Why do some people have so much clutter and they cannot get rid of it. There can be another type of clutter. Maybe this is what the question means and is even why the definition has the word confused in it. That is the clutter of the brain. I am going to give this my own cute little name by calling it clutter thoughts. Clutter thoughts seem to happen at night when you are trying to go to sleep and when you are doing something, like driving a car unfortunately, that does not require a lot of concentration. What is my answer to the question after all of that? The clutter thoughts are something that I can reduce but I do a pretty good job of that most of the time. As far as clutter objects are concerned I have practically zero, so you cannot get any lower than that. I have a few family pictures and I do have a lot of books, but they are all in bookshelves and in a nice particular order by author and type. There is one room in the basement that we will need to work on over the next two weeks. Once we get that taken care of and by continuing to meditate my clutter quotient should be just about 0.
