A professional organizer explains how to conquer the emotional minefields that come with pandemic stockpiling and how to get rid of clutter—a process that can be fraught with stress, guilt, resentment and grief

we must also be ready to deal with the many emotions buried in it, says Jes Marcy, a professional organizer in Poestenkill, N.Y. Ms. Marcy leads online classes on how to get rid of unnecessary items and on social media runs a private support group for people trying to organize their homes, a process that can be fraught with stress, guilt, resentment and grief, she says.

Ms. Marcy tells clients that when they start to unclutter their homes of physical possessions they inevitably will find connections to emotional, financial and relationship issues in their lives, too. “It’s all clutter and it’s all connected,” she says. Ms. Marcy discussed how to navigate decluttering landmines, why you shouldn’t buy anything to get organized and how to deal with boxes of items that could draw tears. Edited excerpts:For some people it has sparked this idea that we need. Others say “I’m going to lose my mind if I have to look at this stuff any longer.” There comes a point where stockpiling is more hazardous than not stockpiling.

It seems a lot easier to just not f’ing obsess over a perfectly kept house. There is some acceptable space between “everything perfectly in its place” and “oh my God the walls are covered in human feces.” It’s OK if you can tell someone lives in your house.

Has anybody asked: Why get rid of clutter? Like who said this was bad? And why call it clutter? Why not just 'life acquisitions?'
