The mental load<\/strong><\/a>It's that invisible weight we carry every day without really realizing it. It's thinking about getting dinner out of the freezer while answering an e-mail, remembering to buy more hand soap, all the while planning the week's lunches in your head. It's the feeling of never really being finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what if organizing your home could help lighten the load a little? Without becoming experts in tidying up, we can put in place a few concrete gestures that do us good on a daily basis. Here are my simple tips for creating a supportive (rather than exhausting) environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Create corners to take a breather<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I always recommend a little corner for yourself<\/strong>. It could be a comfy armchair with a soft lamp, a chaise longue on the balcony, or even just a clear bit of counter space with a cup of tea. The important thing is that this space is not used for anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We keep it free of any visual mental load<\/strong>No piles of papers to sort, no chores to do. It's a place to breathe, read, write or do nothing at all. And that's precious.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

2. Minimalism to clear the mind<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The more objects there are around us, the more our brain works in the background. It's crazy, but every visible item is a potential distraction, a reminder, a solicitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lighten your space<\/strong>is also about lightening your mind. You don't have to live in an empty house, but you can ask questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
