Having always been sort of tidy and really organized, it’s hard for me to imagine being any other way. Trust me, I have faults, but messy and disorganized; those aren’t my issues.
Thus until recently, I had never heard that there are actual groups for cluttered folks. Yet, there are. If you’re in a serious state of clutter, and can’t get unstuck, try visiting one of the following organizations:
Messies Anonymous
Clutterless Recovery Groups
Clutterers Anonymous (CLA)
If you have the means, you could also talk with a private professional therapist, although, like fighting overeating, anger, or other issues; fighting clutter may be easier in …read more

This month I posted on mental clutter a bit, but wanted to go into it a little more. So far you can read:

Get Rid of Mental Clutter
Start Moving Out Mental & Physical Clutter

If you’re blocked by mental clutter, if it’s a reason why your day to day life and spaces feel cramped and messy, then start moving the clutter out of your head. Yeah, if you’re dwelling hardcore, then seek some professional help, but often some simple moves are enough to clear out basic mental clutter and allow you to focus on what’s important in life; including the physical clutter.

You hate your job – it just stresses you out (this is a biggie obviously).
That mistake you made five years ago.
Doubts you have about your abilities.

Last week I posted about mental clutter. We’re going to be taking a closer look at this issue this week. I thought I’d kick that off with a fun way to relieve stress.
This post: Screaming Mimi To the Rescue – is from my little sister’s blog. Yup we both blog. This post is perfectly timed for our week of mental clutter issues, because it’s a nice (non-violent), sort of silly way to deal with your issues.

Like stuff crowding your house, stuff crowding your mind is no good either. In fact, the more cluttered your mind, the harder it is to actually keep your living spaces clutter free.
