How This Clutter Energy Calculator Works

Our clutter energy assessment tool evaluates four key areas that contribute to mental energy drain: physical workspace clutter, home environment clutter, digital clutter, and time spent managing disorganization. The algorithm weights each factor based on psychological research about how different types of clutter affect cognitive function.

Scoring: Scores range from 0 (minimal energy drain) to 100 (severe energy drain). Most productive environments score under 30. Scores above 60 indicate your clutter is likely causing significant stress and reducing your cognitive performance.

Why it matters: Research shows that cluttered environments increase cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and reduce focus. By quantifying your clutter's impact, you can make informed decisions about where to focus your decluttering efforts for maximum mental energy gains.
