Cohen and Wolf’s Lunch & Learn Series: Kick Your Clutter: From Overwhelmed to Organized

The firm’s Wellness Committee recently hosted a Lunch & Learn program, “Kick Your Clutter: From Overwhelmed to Organized,” featuring Lauren Hass, Certified Professional Organizer and founder of Clutter Kicker. As she noted during the session, “Simply put, clutter is anything that gets in the way of living the life of your dreams.” Another definition is that clutter is “procrastinated decisions.”

During the program, she shared practical strategies for reducing both physical and mental clutter, emphasizing how organized spaces can support focus, productivity, and overall well-being. Lauren encouraged participants to start small and build momentum, whether by clearing one surface, putting away 10 things, or setting aside just 10 minutes to organize. She walked attendees through a practical organizing process: sort like items together, decide what can be purged, assign everything you are keeping a home, and choose an appropriate container. She also shared simple questions to help people decide what to keep, including whether they use it, love it, need it, or would buy it again.

Closing on a broader wellness theme, Lauren said she truly believes that being organized positively affects wellness and noted that organized people often rely on a few consistent habits: writing everything down, saying no if you are overcommitted, and doing one thing at a time. Lauren serves New Haven and Northern Fairfield Counties. Learn more about Clutter Kicker at ClutterKickerCT.com.
