How Cleaning Transforms Your Brain | Unlock Productivity with @Sidwarrier | GIVEAWAY

Are you somebody who cannot work on an untidy desk?

If the laptop on your table or a photo on the shelf is not in the right spot.

Does it bother you? Then this video is for you.

Hi everyone. I'm Doctor Siddharth warrior.

I'm a neurologist.

And today I've come on the bigbasket channel to talk

about neuroscience and everything that can help you live your life better.

In a previous video, we've already talked about how clutter affects

your brain, so if you haven't seen that, go watch that later.

But today we are talking about why your brain likes order.

See our brain values predictability.

When you know where something is.

It makes it easier for the brain to plan around that thing,

and that means there is less cognitive effort required,

which is why we get so attached to having things in a particular place.

But why do different people have different levels of cleanliness?

See, this is where it gets interesting,

because the value that our brain attaches to different objects differ.

So for example, for me this hour glass being here

might be very important because I attach more value to this.

But for somebody else it doesn't really matter where this is.

Which is why in a lot of households, you might see that

the husband and wife are arguing about different levels of cleanliness.

So the wife might value,

say, her kitchen knives being in place or her purse being in a particular spot.

And the husband might not value those things, but he would get upset

if the TV remote is not where he left it or his car keys are missing.

This shows how different people form a mental map of their environment,

of the things that are important to them, which is why it leads to

so many arguments between people on different levels of cleanliness.

Because when the items that are important to you are not in their place,

that can lead to discomfort and you want to fix that.

And this value system is not just about us,

because when we are living in a shared space for there to be harmony,

we need to know and respect what somebody else's value system is as well.

And that is how cleanliness as a team can be achieved.

Let me know if these kind of arguments happen in your household.

Another important aspect of cleanliness is hoarding.

Have you ever wondered why

it is so hard to let go of things, even if they have outlived their purpose?
