More is Less in the Clutter Corner

More is Less in the Clutter Corner

Author: Angela Brown April 29, 2022 Duration: 7:43

More is less when it comes to the rich and famous...and the cluttered, and poor. Having more of a thing doesn't bring more joy, it actually dilutes the amount of joy one can have. More stuff causes decision fatigue. Storing excess stuff takes up space and in some cases costs money. Why are so many people on the quest for more?
