Clutter doesn’t just affect our homes — it can create tension, frustration,
and miscommunication in the relationships we care about most. When we share spaces with partners, family members, or roommates, differences in organizing styles, habits, and expectations can quickly turn everyday clutter into conflict.

reduce stress and restore harmony in shared spaces. Together they explore the connection between clutter thresholds, communication, collaboration, and creating systems that support how people actually live — not how we think they should live.
