I don't have a lot of stuff and I love throwing things out, but my constant tossing is a sense of control because I feel like I have no control in my life. Sometimes being a neat freak can reveal something as well
I was thinking exactly the same thing! I started decluttering when the pandemic hit and now I think it was for a feeling of control over something. Also wondering if I really just want to throw out my whole life!
Clutter has invaded our minds, no doubt. Having to "multitask" on the job so much these days being able to find enough mental clarity to think effectively is a real challenge. The context switching is far more expensive than upper managers imagine.
Fascinating talk. I have always thought think where there's clutter, there's pain. This is wisdom. Next time I have a sort out, I'll think of this, and do it differently: with compassion for myself. Thank you.
My clutter says someday I am going to learn to play piano/research my family tree/make a scrap book/learn a foreign language/sew/garden/read/camp/hike/kayak, etc....
How perfect to watch right now as my other half is moving out and I'm going thru every nook and cranny to begin again. I'm facing those clutter monsters head-on and filling them with love and letting go. Thank you. GREAT job, girl!
You said “ your other half “ after he’s gone ,in a while , you will feel a whole person again ,complete , not half of something , when you reach this state , you are ready to love again , but not as a part person , a WHOLE PERSON ,WHO IS FINE ON THEIR OWN
OMG! So awesome! You were my first guest expert on this at Heart Centered Programs radio show! My clutter says I love to read and wear lots of shoes! And ... hate to throw out anything sentimental! Loved your talk! Congrats!!!
Wow...this was not what I expected at all! I want her to organize my stuff to see what my clutter says about me...that’s be interesting. And she’s a professional organizer with great communication skills!
I was struck as I listened to this while getting ready to attend the last day of my convention in 'counterstrain'. What I'm really doing in helping, healing others is ultimately some version of what this talk is pointing to. Or at least when I'm successful at all it's something like this ultimately. I really get lost and think it's about clearing their closets, giving them a better body, getting rid of their pain. But boy is that wrong. None of us really heal by getting rid of pain without the insight about what that pain is pointing to, the gift that it is possibly revealing about our hopes, truths, connections to others, life that is connected. The stuckness we experience is mirrored in our clutter or how we don't or do deal with it. That's it. Simple, beautiful
she is brilliant! i love her spirit. just a few moments before watching this video I had the realization that I clutter my life because of decision anxiety and the feeling that I need more in order to always be able to choose from a huge variety because I don't trust myself to make good decisions right away....keeping my options open means physical, emotional and digital clutter
Thanks so much for these insights! You just explained so much about my life, my late Mom, & so many family members. I'm going to use this to help my family & co-workers with their decisions!
Star, Thank you for your insight and brilliant presentation. I've tried to declutter again and again, but I get stuck trying to decide which items 'bring me joy'. Most of them do not. They are just representations of emotional monsters, primarily in my closet, that need to be cast out. I get it now. I'm giving you a single, astronomical Star (puns intended) because FIVE STARS would just be clutter. ⭐ You're briliant. Thank you! 😘
Wow! What a deep and beautiful and true way to see clutter! And I would love to invite you to a dinner party!! :-D Might just be a little far since I live in Germany ;-)
Great job girl! Super proud of you and love your powerful message! Woot!! In the last 20 years I've experienced all the things you talked about over and over and over again with my clients. That's why I've stopped doing physical organizing and moved into coaching and consulting. Like you, I don't care what someone's home looks like -- I love helping them learn to find their voice, clarify what's important, communicate powerfully and create the life they want. Hope to see you in Chicago next month!
1) gorgeous name 2) on my phone, looks like Monica from Friends 3) great talk and very timely - I'm looking at my clutter right now and eager to dive in! Right after a snack...
I am glad I am not a hoarder on any level and have always been considered a neat, clean, and organized person. I don't have clutter in my home; If I feel sad or stressed, mess or clutter would make me more sad and more stressed. So therefore, I always clean it up regardless of how I feel. Makes life easier for sure
College is what you make it! I graduated with no real friends and was incredibly antisocial due to depression and over-busying myself. I decided before I started college that things would be different. It was a new chapter of life and I could write it any way I like. I found myself in college. I was very social and learned a lot about friendship- whom to keep around and how to walk away from toxic people. I made a lifelong friend that has been there for me every day since she knew how serious I am about our friendship. I learned how to walk away from something that everyone expects you to stick with because "you're supposed to" and how blind I can be when my heart is all in. College was the best set of educational years I have had. I met me. College can be anything you make it. Choose your path, set forth and find yourself. A lovely journey awaits you!
Rachelle Enslor. *The Clutter Bug on RUclips. She has a Ted Talk and a video series on RUclips. Very well done and is respectful of different organizational styles. Helps you think through your needs and design a system for your specific organizational style based on your type. She has an easy quiz to take to determine your type. Her videos give examples of step by step how tos and practical application to specific rooms. All very nicely designed yet on a budget. * and the Clutter Fairy on RUclips. This lady does a weekly question and answer interview format video show . She dives right into the emotional reasons underneath the clutter. The comments are insightful and encouraging on both RUclips Channels. In both cases the women are professional organizers with practical first hand experience dealing with issues around clutter, organization, hoarding and addiction. I hope this helps.

@@rachelleensor3147 , That's great! I was born and raised in Seattle. If you want to text me my number is 1-580-371-7886. I hope you are well and being careful as our COVID-19 numbers are climbing. My favorite RUclipsr is Dr. John Campbell. He is a Professor of Nursing in the UK. He wrote the standard textbooks on anatomy and physiology that are used around the world. And he has an amazing way of explaining complex medical concepts in easy to understand terms. He accurately predicted the World Pandemic in December of 2019. And has been giving daily updates on SARS-CoV-2 since January 2020. He has videos on Caring for a Relative with COVID-19 and Vitamin D3. Watch his latest Vitamin D video and start taking it right away. Basically, people who die of COVID-19 have low blood serum levels of vitamin D and we have an epidemic of Vitamin D deficiency. Be sure and avoid crowds. If you have to go grocery shopping wear a tight fitting P95 or higher mask and eye protection. Use 70% isopropyl alcohol as hand sanitizer and surface cleaner or wash your hands frequently. Ventilate your home by opening windows to get air flow and dilute potential virus particles to reduce viral lode. If you have to go into public get in and out quickly. Be sure and wear a well fitting mask to filter the air you breathe. Be diligent and don't give in to COVID-19 FATIGUE. Which is when people get so tired of dealing with the Pandemic they get a false sense of security, get overwhelmed and quit taking precautions. Please be really careful. 60- 80% of transmission is by asymptomatic carriers who don't even know that they are infected. They don't have symptoms, no headache, no sore throat, no fatigue, no cough, no shortness of breath, no loss of taste or smell, no rash, no dirreaha or gargastic distress. But they are infected with SARS-CoV-2 virus and exhaling the virus particles and unknowingly infecting others. Presymptomatic carriers are people who have been infected with SARS-CoV-2 virus and will come down with symptoms but have not yet. So they are contagious before they show symptoms. And sadly they do not realise that they are sick and infecting others until it is too late. Dr. John Campbell's videos are excellent. He uses evidence based research and explains why science works. He has such a gentle way about him but he teaches with authority. I think you will like him. He is a man of integrity. I hope you have a lovely evening. It was good to hear from you. I am sending love and hugs from Washington State, USA, Jeanne of In Loving Hands Counseling and ASMR
I put my clutter to the side. Every time I see it when I go into my room, I feel numb to where I should put it. So I leave it. 😬 One good thing is that I'm good about not buying too much stuff. But it is building up slowly.
O my freakin god. She is true there are so many things. But still i feel m lazy to do and few are things i just dont want to throw away. What to do nw pppff
I've listened to her interview on NPR, her introduction on her YT channel, and this speech, and I still don't hear anything of value. Maybe because I already know the story of my clutter. So?
I thought I had seen most of the video's on decluttering until I found this one today almost two years after it was recorded. They all had something to offer but this Star Hansen Ted Talk was a whole other level. You masquerade as a professional organizer but you are a combination of a best friend who brings over a bottle of wine, and an amazing psychologist. You are a powerful speaker who found the heart of the matter. Thanks for the wonderful insight. Your talk triggered a range of emotions that I thought were long buried. Better to deal with them. You bring me clarity. Thank you.
I love the psychology behind this. I've always known that the things people acquire and how they live their lives reveals the truth about them and what's going on in their lives, but it's interesting to take a deeper look into the clutter itself speaking and revealing the hidden truths that we try so desperately to hide. Now I'm walking about my house contemplating what each room is revealing about me. haha. Great talk!
My clutter says I have big dreams and I am afraid to really run towards them. It says I love writing, painting, creating, and feel guilty about enjoying it. It says I hold onto things from other people because I am afraid if I let go, I won't have what I need. It says I grew up in generations of poverty and food insecurity and I've learned to hide to stay safe
Every item that I have bought into my house since the passing of my husband has been simply my emotional bandages. Thank you for pointing that out to me Ms Hansen. Your talk has lifted me, inspired me. I watched your presentation through two days ago and since then, I have moved mountains. My 'bandages' have found there way to the local skip and the charity shop. I have only scratched the surface, but Star, I want to thank you for letting me find myself under my emotional clutter. Your presentation has been an enormous help to me. I am indeed 'the monster' in my very own closet.
Chela McGuire I have about same story. Since my little girl passed away and I lost my family too( they deserted me all ) than few years later a house into I was moving and since few months I was preparing it for my new life than suddenly it got on fire and lost everything I had to return to my old “little house on the prairie” a much smaller house. I have all clutter in piles everywhere especially in 1/2 of my bed. Thank you for making me understand my monster. Started digging up What is fun is that I used to have a business which included de-clutter homes. I am voiding to come home and real with the monster since I lost my house
I've been seeing comments on different posts about decluttering the mind before the stuff. Today, Aug. 19, 2021 I stumbled across this video... Oh my stars! I must be sooo messed up. 😢 i just thought I was a slob. I'm not being sarcastic or ridiculing this talk/speaker. I already started clearing space in my house. I don't want the mess to come back yet it always does. I will do some soul searching as I clean. Thank you. I have plenty to think about.
My clutter: keeping you from having people over, keeping you from having relationships, friends. Not anymore. I move cities in 12 days. 😁 everything gets let go.
but...I need my clutter, it keeps people from coming over in my house, invading my space, my life. Bus also: the clutter makes it so I cannot live my life the way I want to. I cannot choose! The moment I have a spare few feet there will be somebody there, demanding attention, to be taken care of, in dire need, planning to stay etc.etc.. so whatever I choose: life will be a constant struggle. Fun eh? (At least I can ignore my clutter if I really need to.)
Moment of clarity while watching this video: I’ve built walls of clutter with which to protect myself. Star is truly blessed with a gift💜 I just realized how exposed I would feel without all of this STUFF serving as a barrier around me. I’ve never seen it this way. Here’s to healing for us all.
I told someone that about my clutter. But I said it comes and goes depending on how many things are stressing me out. When my mind's clear the mess goes
So very accurate. I've been hurt too many times by people and my apartment stays a mess...because of this I can never have anyone over, never bring a date home, etc.
I don't have a lot of stuff and I love throwing things out, but my constant tossing is a sense of control because I feel like I have no control in my life. Sometimes being a neat freak can reveal something as well
I was thinking exactly the same thing! I started decluttering when the pandemic hit and now I think it was for a feeling of control over something. Also wondering if I really just want to throw out my whole life!
@@susanalexander7990 I'm sorry you feel that way, I understand it. I very often feel the same , I wish a lot of my life was veryyy different
I would never guess that I will be in tears at the end of this speach...
OMG! I need you to council my marriage. The clutter speaks. We haven't... This is the most eye opening Ted talk I have experienced!
Clutter has invaded our minds, no doubt. Having to "multitask" on the job so much these days being able to find enough mental clarity to think effectively is a real challenge. The context switching is far more expensive than upper managers imagine.

Great phrase of yours, Jenny: Where there's clutter, there's pain. I will remember it. G Ire
This lady changed my life in 15 minutes. How suddenly I know what I have to quit clinging on!
When she pointed out the cluttered bed my heart started pounding because my bed is halfway covered with laundry for the same reason...
Criminally underviewed. So insightful.
This was one of most important videos I even seen in my life
This Ted talk may have done more for me than several years of counseling!
Thank you!

Yep. My house and everything in it is a pile of - clutter. My emotions are under every one of those piles. I'm frozen.
lmao :)))
I hope you have started small but have found the strength to start to declutter.

Honestly I'm floored by this talk.

You're my fairygodmother. T thank you
Thanks so much for these insights! You just explained so much about my life, my late Mom, & so many family members. I'm going to use this to help my family & co-workers with their decisions!
Halfway through this video and I'm crying so hard.
This is beautiful. Thank you sister for shining your light so bright and for helping the rest of us do the same
Last year My Mom passed away and I had to move. The clutter I had to deal with was overwhelming but I got through it. The inside stuff not so easy.
What a great perspective !!!
Genius view on the topic. thank you!!!
This was so extremely helpful & I'm very grateful for having the opportunity to hear it
This was amazing.......WOW.....When I go into cluttered houses I’m now going to try to figure out the monster
This is amazing Star! Thank you for sharing your wisdom and insight on what our clutter is trying to tell us.
I was in tears by the time she was done speaking!
Spot on.
Judging by the tears raining onto my desk, I really needed to see this. Now, where to start?
💛💛💛
Same...
@leila lalala what a lovely, loving piece of advice.

Awesome job Star! I am forwarding that to my radio show listener list.
Breakthrough level talk.
I have been 10 years since I broke up with my husband, figuring out what to do with boxes 📦 of paper, the amount of decorations and clothing 😭😭😭
Excellent
Awesome. I wonder if she has a blog. Wish she could read my clutter.
Beautiful and inspiring!
Me encantó! Gracias! 🙇🙇🙇

Its always easier to clean someone else's place:).
I also need to declutter more😝😍
I love this so much! I read the Japanese art of tidying up by Marie kondo a couple years ago and it radically changed my life!
O my freakin god. She is true there are so many things. But still i feel m lazy to do and few are things i just dont want to throw away. What to do nw pppff
Inspired stuff Star.
What about if you declutter constantly?
She's so beautiful
What clutter/ chaos in schedule and chronic tardiness mean?
U r awesome shining ⭐️
For what u do
U r beautiful n utterly creative 😘
I wish I could understand what my clutter is telling me
you already know
~🍵~🍵~🍵~
WOW
come tell me whats wrong with my life LOL

i learned new word 'clutter'
My clutter says that I have ADHD 🙂
I've listened to her interview on NPR, her introduction on her YT channel, and this speech, and I still don't hear anything of value. Maybe because I already know the story of my clutter. So?
She's not coming into my house!
Damn. I hoard laundry on the side of the bed i am not sleeping for similar reasons than in her story... Oh well
Same here! 3 Clean folded piles!
This is really disturbing.
what the heck is she talking about. ah she is a declutterer, i am too a declutterer.
She’s got her high heels on bare feet
