Talking about younger men and their relationship with clutter and lack of organisation is a tricky subject, even without going into desperate attempts at avoiding gender stereotypes. Leaving aside any effects of being brought up in a household that retains levels of gender typical association of mom or dad with particular tasks, there are some differences in the way young women and young men associate with things they surround themselves with. There also appear to be some differences in the way they react to how others see them, as far as I can tell from professional experience with decluttering clients.

You may be wondering what a Professional Organiser or a Decluttering Specialist can add that you wouldn’t be able to do on your own. To be honest, you wouldn’t be the first person to ask that question! At first sight, most people appear to have the abilities necessary to clear their space, shift items around, look at things and make decisions, etc., so why pay for someone to help you out? Isn’t this an unnecessary expense when you could do it all yourself?

This appears to be common sense, but ask yourself if it actually holds true for you?
