After 6 years working closely with a wide variety of people looking to organize their homes, their offices, their files and paper, and their lives, I have come up with a term that describes a common experience that is a key factor leading many to the cluttered situations they exasperatingly find themselves in. 

Distractibility

Impulse Purchases

Forgetfulness

Disorganization

I love this, where can I use it?

It’s so much cheaper if we buy it in bulk.

This is a great price; I know I’ll find someone to give it to.

It’s so cute, I have to have it! (even though it doesn’t fit just right and I have nothing that matches it)

Do you know how much these used to cost? I can’t believe I found them at such a great price.

An excessively cluttered environment

Feelings of overwhelm

Goal derailment

Anxiety & depression

Not to be confused with:

Healthy, natural curiosity

Imaginative minds

Frugality
