I will have to disagree here. I vigorously eliminate clutter because I believe it has a definitive impact. Having a bunch of "things" in my field of vision and in my house makes it harder to find the few physical things I really need. I suppose you could argue it isn't clutter, but organization, that is important. But clutter is the enemy of organization.

The more decision fatigue I can eliminate the more I can focus on what I need. All of the other existential pains the author suffers from, I do not. I think "de-cluttering" is an activity many people undertake for a variety of reasons. For me it is all about eliminating decision fatigue and making it easy for me to accomplish the real work I want to accomplish.
