If you are feeling a little stressed and disorganized, maybe a
good clear out will help. According to an article in Psychology
Today a tidy, clutter free work area or home has several benefits for a person's psychological health,
such as improved mood, decreased stress and creativity.
Clutter bombards us with extraneous stimuli, creating distractions
that can feel overwhelming. But a good spring clean and purge of all
unnecessary things can clear the mind and help us to refocus.
如果你感覺到有壓力生活一團混亂，或許來個好好清理一下會有所幫助。根據今日心理學的一篇文章，一個整潔，沒有雜物的家或工作環境對一個人的心理健康有許多好處，例如改善情緒，減少壓力和有創造力。
雜亂衝擊我們加上外來刺激，造成心煩意亂感覺難以承受。但是一個好的春季大掃除來清理所有不需要的東西可以潔淨心靈，並幫助我們重新聚焦。
There is also and association between physical activity and
organization. A disorganized space makes us less active. On the flip side,
clutter free surroundings promote physical activity and is also associated with
healthy diet choices.
Aside from the benefits given in the Psychology Today article (link below), I have a 3 more reasons that
might convince you it is worth to clear out the unnecessary.
另外身體活動和環境整潔之間也有關係，一個雜亂的空間使我們不太想動，另一方面，整潔無雜物的環境可以促進身體活動因此飲食方面也會選擇健康的飲食這些都有所關聯。
除了今日心理學文章中提到的好處，另外還有3個理由可以說服你清理不需要的東西是非常值得的。
1) Less clutter, less dust. The more things you acquire the more
places for dust to accumulate--getting rid of your stuff can benefit your
health by reducing the amount of dust particles in your living space.
1）雜物少，灰塵少。你的東西越多就有越多地方積累灰塵 – 丟掉你的東西就會減少你的生活空間的灰塵數量這樣有益於你的身心健康。
2) A clutter free space gives you more time. The more organized
the space, the less time you spend searching for misplaced items. Also, less
clutter means less cleaning and more free time.
2) 沒有雜物的生活空間會帶給你更多的時間。生活空間越有組織，搜尋錯放物品的時間越少。此外，比較少的雜物意味著只需要花很少的時間清潔就能有更多的空閒時間。
3) Clearing out the clutter means you are left with the things
that you truly value. And it can help evaluate what is really important. It can
save you money, because once you have a sense of the benefits of living in a
clutter free space, you might start asking yourself "Do I really need to buy
this, or will it just end up as clutter?"
3）清除雜亂的東西意味著你留下的是你真正珍視的東西，它可以幫你評估什麼才是真正重要，它可以節省金錢，因為一旦你能感受到生活在一個沒有雜亂自由空間的好處，你可能會自問，我真的需要買這個或是它最終也將成為被丟棄的雜物呢？
If distracted, overwhelmed or just stuck, getting rid of the
superfluous might help you. A lot less, can be a lot better.
Finally, I would like to recommend a book by Japanese author Maria
Konko The Life-Changing Magic
of Tidying Up. This is a great book for anyone who wants to declutter
and stay decluttered.
如果你正處於分心壓抑或感覺被困住，清除多餘的雜物可能會幫助你。少了許多雜物，感覺就會好多了。
最後，我想推薦一本由日本作家近藤麻理惠所著的《怦然心動的人生整理魔法》一書。對任何想要保持整潔無雜物的人這是一本很棒的書。
