Welcome to Monday! I’m working on the corporate paperwork and training an AI but the cleaning Goal for you and for myself today is:

Did you drink your coffee today? For detoxification, it is important to have coffee in the morning with some dairy. You can have dairy in your coffee or have a piece of cheese. Health Storey Coaches can explain to you the importance of coffee with dairy milk.
Clear Space, Clear Mind: The Importance of Minimal Visual Clutter in the Bedroom (Especially Around the Bed)
If your bedroom feels like a staging room for everything you own, your sleep routine might be paying the price. Visual clutter can drain energy, disrupt relaxation, and even make mornings feel chaotic. The good news? A simple, deliberate approach to keeping the space around your bed free of clutter can transform how you rest, recharge, and wake up. Here’s why it matters and how to make it work in real life.
Why visual clutter around the bed matters
- Sleep quality and stress: A calm, orderly environment signals to your brain that it’s time to unwind. When surfaces are crowded with books, devices, and laundry, your brain has more stimuli to process at a time when it should be winding down. A cleaner visual field can help reduce cognitive load and promote deeper, more restorative sleep.
- Safety and ease: The bed is the room’s center of comfort, but it’s also a potential trip hazard if cords, shoes, or laundry spill into the floor or nightstands. Keeping the space around the bed clear reduces the risk of stumbles at night and makes it easier to get in and out of bed.
- Routine and mental clarity: A tidy bedside area supports a smoother evening routine. When you know exactly where the essentials live (lamp, water bottle, a notebook, a charger), you waste less time searching and more time relaxing or drifting off.
- Ambiance and mood: Clutter clashes with a tranquil mood. A minimal, uncluttered vibe—soft textures, warm lighting, and a cohesive color palette—creates a sanctuary-like feel that’s inviting to rest.
What “clutter around the bed” typically looks like
- Nightstands overloaded with gadgets, cables, and random papers
- Cables and chargers sprawling across surfaces or the floor
- Stacks of books, magazines, or laundry piles near the bed
- Decorative items that aren’t used for sleep, right at eye level
- Under-bed storage that’s overflowing or difficult to access
