Your brain processes every visible object in your environment, even when you're not consciously looking at it.
Research shows that visual clutter reduces cognitive capacity by up to 30%. That means every cluttered surface is literally stealing your ability to focus, decide, and think clearly.
You're not distracted because you lack discipline. You're distracted because your brain is working overtime processing visual noise.
Quick win: Clear ONE surface completely today. Just one. Your desk, your nightstand, your bathroom counter. Leave it empty or with just 1-2 intentional objects.
Notice how you feel when you look at that clear space. That's what "cognitive rest" feels like.
