We all know people with low and high thresholds of pain. Some complain for days about a hurt toe; professional football players will play with concussions, broken bones, or sprains without seeming to be affected.
In my observations, some people also have a high threshold for clutter. It's not that they LIKE how the house looks, how difficult it is to find things, or that they keep buying duplicates because the originals are buried somewhere. They tend to be rather easy-going people that can overlook it. I feel that our "Simplify: one per day" method is a good fix for them. It builds a habit of looking for clutter in the house. I really hope we have all gained that particular habit these couple of months and that it can continue.
Today I will attend to a pile of papers. Why? Because they have been sitting unobtrusively in our kitchen and since I'm paying attention today, I noticed it's time to take care of that clutter.
