JAKARTA - A tradition in Sweden mentions the Swedish death cleaning concept which prioritizes cleanliness as if there is no tomorrow. This concept is similar to the Marie Kondo method, all means of organizing things are oriented towards getting fun.

Basically, keeping clean, organizing, and organizing things in the house is very happy. Why? 5 reasons below and convince your next step to stick to cleanliness and an organized room.

An organized place makes you happier

Launching NBC News, the Swedish minimalist movement with the Swedish death cleaning principle is a way of organizing goods and maintaining cleanliness as if tomorrow is gone.

Rosellina Ferraro, Ph.D., Professor of Marketing at the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business says that people may be interested in applying these principles to living in a tiny house. If you cut down on things in your home, you may focus more on the things that are important in life.

Reduces anxiety

Minimalism from a psychological point of view is based on the idea that happiness does not come from things but from relationships and experiences. Based on research, people who focus on material pursuits tend to be unhappy, anxious, and have low self-esteem.

Simply put, piling up and catching up on the newest stuff can lead to intimacy issues. Both functional intimacy in goods and relationships with the closest people. According to Ferraro, organizing necessities and reducing chaos over the pursuit of goods can reduce the burden of life.

Reducing the risk of stress

If you've ever been scrolling through your smartphone all day obsessed with something new, it's time to take a deeper look. In fact, having less to worry about can actually make life seem easier.

Amy Morin, a psychotherapist and lecturer at Northeastern University, makes the following statement.

"When there is less chaos on the outside, we tend to feel less chaos on the inside."

That is, chaotic room conditions are associated with stress and decreased productivity. Of the 60 women involved in Morin's study, the more cluttered the room they occupied, the higher the levels of the stress hormone or cortisol.

So what are you waiting for, if the room in your house feels full and lots of things pile up without function, it's time to clean and organize to make it tidier.

More efficient

Regarding organizing goods and maintaining cleanliness related to thrifty behavior. A simple illustration, if you have a one-door refrigerator that is still working effectively because it is always kept clean, then you don't need to use a credit card to buy a two-door one.

The house describes its owner

According to Russell Belk, Ph.D., professor at the Schulich School of Business at York University, the house describes its owner. How a person organizes things and keeps things clean is reflected in the visuals of his house.

Are you one of those who wash glasses and dishes right after dinner or put off tackling piles for the next few days?
