00:13Thank you for your hard work today.
00:15Good evening, this is Momo.
00:18Here we go.
00:20Today's theme is tidying up.
00:23However, this isn't just about cleaning.
00:27What I'm going to tell you here today is
00:30This is not how to wring out a rag.
00:33Let's update our brains all at once
00:37This is a life-changing strategy.
00:40Momo-san, just by cleaning your room
00:42It's an exaggeration to say it will change your life.
00:46That's right, I think that's what you'd think.
00:50But what changes your life is
00:52It's not about willpower or personality; it's about the way the brain works.
00:57If you feel tired right now
01:01I just don't feel like doing anything.
01:04I can't seem to concentrate.
01:07Things that need to be done are not progressing.
01:09If you have such worries
01:11The cause is not you
01:14It might be in that room.
01:17Oh, I see, that's because the entrance faces north.
01:21I'm not talking about feng shui or anything like that.
01:25They say you should put some forest salt there.
01:27If you place the golden cushion facing south
01:31It's not like it'll motivate me or anything.
01:34Why does simply tidying up eliminate mental noise?
01:38Why throwing away one piece of trash
01:41Does it create a sense of self-efficacy?
01:43Today, we will discuss these seemingly unrelated topics.
01:46The surprising mechanism connecting tidying up and brain arousal
01:51of
01:51We will unravel the mystery using the latest neuroscience and psychology.
01:56If you are currently feeling stuck in life
02:01This video should be the first step in breaking down that barrier.
02:06Books left out, clothes discarded
02:09It seals away our talents
02:13The time has finally come to turn the key to break that seal.
02:18Let's begin.
02:20Sepati
02:32First, we must face this directly.
02:35There is a shocking truth.
02:37That is, our brain
02:39Everything that is visible
02:41It is trying to process it automatically and unconsciously.
02:45That's the point.
02:47No, no, Momo, I'm just ignoring it.
02:50I don't mind.
02:52Did you think so?
02:54That's a major blind spot.
02:57Even though consciousness is ignoring it
02:59The brain is working at full capacity without any effort.
03:03In other words, in the background of your smartphone
03:05I have 100 resource-intensive apps running at the same time.
03:10And the fact that you are not aware of it
03:13Energy is being consumed.
03:15It means they are unaware of it.
03:18Our brain
03:19There is a supreme command center called the prefrontal cortex.
03:24The space where this command center is working
03:27In neuroscience, this is what it's called.
03:30Working memory
03:32What is working memory?
03:34Simply put, it's like a workspace inside your brain.
03:39When we think about something
03:42When making decisions or coming up with new ideas
03:47The brain works on this desk.
03:50But what happens if the room is messy?
03:54Everything that comes into view
03:57They just take over this work desk without permission.
04:02In neuroscience, this is called visual noise.
04:07Documents left lying around, an empty coffee cup, clothes
04:11Socks left unattended
04:13These are not merely objects to the brain.
04:17It will remain on the desk as information that needs to be processed.
04:22Professor Sabine Kastner of Princeton University
04:26Even in research
04:26Visual disturbances can significantly reduce concentration.
04:32It has been clearly proven.
04:35When we are struggling with a lack of motivation or inability to concentrate
04:41It's not a matter of effort
04:43It's simply that the brain's workspace is physically occupied.
04:48Tidying up isn't simply about moving things from right to left.
04:54Free up working memory
04:56Growth to maximize brain performance
05:00Transformation work
05:00This is what will dramatically change your life
05:04It's the most rational and efficient strategy.
05:13Chapter 2: The Curse of Unfinished Tasks That Corrodes the Brain
05:19Now, let's look at the brain's workspace, working memory, which is cluttered with noise.
05:24Waiting
05:24That alone is shocking, isn't it?
05:28But the story doesn't end there.
05:31Here's another psychological phenomenon that's affecting us.
05:37It's called the Saigarnik effect.
05:40This is the work of Soviet psychologist Bluma Saigarnik.
05:44This is a phenomenon discovered by [name/organization].
05:46Our brains are more interested in things that are completed than in things that are completed.
05:49I vividly remember the things I left undone.
05:52I have a tendency to get curious about things.
05:58For example, when a TV drama ends at a good point.
06:02Have you ever had the experience of thinking about something for a whole week straight?
06:08Who is the culprit?
06:09I wonder what will happen to that plot point.
06:12That feeling of being confused and unable to concentrate on anything.
06:16That situation is happening all the time in your room.
06:21Plastic bottles left out
06:24The brain is saying
06:26When are you going to throw this away?
06:28Socks left lying around
06:30My brain is screaming
06:32When should I put this in the washing machine?
06:35Books I'm currently reading
06:37The brain keeps sending out notifications.
06:40When will you finish reading this?
06:43I might think I'm ignoring it.
06:46But in the unconscious mind
06:48It beeps like a smartphone alert.
06:53It rings multiple times every second.
06:57My brain is telling me to rest.
06:59Those in the room
07:01Hey, what do we do about this?
07:03Is it okay to just leave this as is?
07:05And it keeps pounding on your brain without giving it a break.
07:11Doesn't just imagining this make you feel exhausted?
07:15You seem to lack motivation.
07:18I'm tired even though I haven't done anything.
07:20This is actually the true reason why you feel that way.
07:25It's not because you lack willpower.
07:29That's why throw away one piece of trash.
07:31Put one of the pens that was left out back into the pen holder.
07:36This small action is not just about tidying up.
07:40The unfinished notification ringing in my brain
07:44It's a process of physically marking each message as read and then deleting them one by one.
07:50The moment I put the object back in its place
07:52The curse that controlled your brain has been broken.
07:56Finally, I can focus solely on this moment.
08:01It brings freedom and true rest.
08:15Now, let's clear the incomplete alert.
08:18Finally, silence has returned.
08:21However, there is one more major obstacle that stands in our way.
08:27That's simply decision fatigue.
08:29It's a wall called Decision Fatigue.
08:33Actually, our brains
08:35It is said that we make tens of thousands of decisions every day.
08:42What clothes will you wear today?
08:44What do you put on your bread for breakfast?
08:47Should I reply to this email now?
08:49It seems like a perfectly normal choice at first glance, doesn't it?
08:53But each of these small choices
08:57Let's put our prefrontal cortex into full use.
09:00It's consuming the brain's energy at an incredible rate.
09:06For example, when you enter a restaurant
09:07How would you feel if you were given a menu that was 1000 pages long?
09:13Pasta is good, but this set meal is also hard to resist.
09:17And so, as you continue to make choices endlessly
09:21By the time you finish ordering
09:23You probably won't even have the energy left to enjoy the food itself.
09:27This is the true nature of decision fatigue.
09:31Being in a messy room means
09:33This 1000-page menu
09:36It's like constantly reading while you're at home.
09:41Look at the documents on the desk
09:42Read it now? Avoid it?
09:45Looking at the clothes lying on the floor
09:47Should I pick it up now?
09:49Should I put it in the washing machine?
09:50Or should we pretend we didn't see it?
09:53Let's pretend we didn't see that.
09:55Even if you choose to leave it alone for now
09:58In fact, energy is being consumed.
10:02Because deciding not to do something is also a perfectly valid decision.
10:07Um, Momo, so what should we do then?
10:11Is there a way to do it without consuming energy?
10:15Yes, there is.
10:16First
10:18It's about automating decision-making.
10:20For example, if the scissors have a designated place
10:23Sometimes I have to search for it when I need to use it.
10:27Where should I put it after I'm done using it?
10:30You'll no longer have to wonder.
10:32At this moment, the brain's energy consumption is
10:35It will be zero.
10:37Second
10:38By reducing possessions, you can enjoy the luxury of not having to choose.
10:42Reducing the number of things
10:43From the menu of life
10:45Pages that don't matter
10:46It's the process of tearing it up and throwing it away.
10:48A 1000-page menu
10:50If you reduce it to one page
10:52Only what you truly want to do
10:54Narrowed down
10:55The brain is already
10:56I don't have to wonder where I should spend my energy.
11:00Don't be distracted by other things
11:02You will be able to maintain the highest level of concentration.
11:09Chapter 4
11:10Success stories that harness the power of dopamine
11:16So far we've been talking about reducing the burden on the brain.
11:20Now, let's talk about offense.
11:23When I saw the clean room after I had tidied it up
11:27What do you think?
11:30Ah, I feel so happy.
11:32I feel refreshed and my mood improves.
11:34Alright, I'll do my best again tomorrow!
11:38That makes you feel more positive, doesn't it?
11:41Actually, this isn't a matter of mood.
11:45The most powerful motivational substance in your brain
11:48That's because a large amount of dopamine is being released.
11:52Well, Momo, it's just that you threw away some trash.
11:55Does it release dopamine?
11:57I think so too.
11:59But for the brain
12:01Even throwing away trash
12:02They can also successfully complete projects worth hundreds of millions of yen.
12:06We're achieving the same goal.
12:09The brain's reward system is a circuit
12:11I don't look at the size of the scale.
12:14I made the decision myself and carried it out.
12:16The switch flips at this moment.
12:20Pick up a flyer from the floor and throw it in the trash can.
12:24This action takes only 3 seconds
12:27The brain recognizes that the mission is complete.
12:30It gives you a pleasure reward.
12:32In neuroscience,
12:34This is called improving self-efficacy.
12:38I am currently in control of this environment.
12:41That's the feeling I get.
12:43When you feel like your life isn't going well
12:47We can't change anything about ourselves.
12:50I am overwhelmed by this feeling of powerlessness.
12:54That's when
12:55Try washing the glass in front of you.
12:59Try putting the book back on the shelf.
13:02This accumulation of small victories
13:04It restarts the motivation circuits in your brain.
13:08Cleaning up is, in a sense, a form of brain rehabilitation.
13:12Your life after knowing this
13:15Things are already starting to change.
13:17We now understand the mechanisms of the brain.
13:19I've also learned that small victories can restart your life.
13:24But how exactly should I go about cleaning it up?
13:29The ultimate decluttering technique to switch on your brain
13:33That's the small step I'll talk about next.
13:41Chapter 5: Small Steps to Decluttering
13:47Now, here's a trap that many people fall into.
13:52It's trying to finish everything at once.
13:56The brain perceives major changes as a threat.
14:00On the contrary, it puts on the brakes.
14:03Starting today, please prohibit doing everything at once.
14:07The scientifically correct tidying strategy is to take small steps.
14:12Bury high hurdles in the ground.
14:16First, open your wallet.
14:18Please remove one unnecessary receipt and throw it in the trash.
14:23Yes, this is the flag for a successful experience where I have managed to finish it.
14:28I stood up.
14:29Please give a round of applause.
14:31That's wonderful.
14:32Let's throw away two tomorrow.
14:35Next, we'll narrow down the location.
14:37But you mustn't open the closet.
14:41It will fall
14:43The target is a flat surface.
14:45Half of the table
14:46On top of the shoe rack in the entrance
14:49Around the keyboard on the desk
14:51This is the one thing I absolutely must spend money on.
14:54It produces a life-giving fluid that is a beacon of hope, a place that is beautiful only in this spot.
15:00Humans can find even just one beautiful place.
15:04We have an instinct to want to spread it around.
15:08We'll use that instinct to our advantage.
15:11We will also divide the time into sections.
15:125 minutes
15:14While making instant ramen
15:17Or while waiting for a YouTube ad
15:20I decided to do it for just 5 minutes and started the timer.
15:24Tick tick tick tick
15:26Okay, that's it.
15:27Stop when you feel like you want to do more.
15:31This means I can continue cleaning tomorrow as well.
15:34Here's how to release dopamine.
15:37By tidying up your room, your brain will tell you what you can do.
15:40This reminds me of my confidence.
15:43That energy is channeled into work.
15:46Towards human relationships
15:47And it spreads to new challenges.
15:51If you clean up well
15:53You often hear stories about people's luck improving, right?
15:57That wasn't just good luck.
16:00The brain's reward system is like an engine
16:02This is proof that it has started working properly.
16:06I made the decision myself and changed myself.
16:09That fact is what motivates you.
16:13This is not magic
16:15It's an inevitable victory, a result of the structure of the brain.
16:23Chapter 6
16:24Rewriting the operating system of self-image
16:30Now, the climax is finally here.
16:33After listening to the story up to Chapter 5
16:36You should have learned techniques for using your brain effectively.
16:40And finally,
16:42I'm going to tell you the most hopeful story.
16:46Why has it come to this extent?
16:47Can a neuroscience-based approach to tidying up change your life?
16:52The answer is tidying up
16:54Because it's essentially a rewrite of the operating system, which is your self-image.
16:59What is an OS?
17:01Is it Windows?
17:03Is it a Mac?
17:04Is it iOS?
17:06No, that's incorrect.
17:07It operates the hardware that is your brain.
17:10The belief that this is the kind of person I am
17:14That's the OS.
17:17Imagine this
17:18Living in a messy room
17:20Covered in visual noise
17:22When you're under the curse of unfinished tasks
17:25What operating system is installed in the brain?
17:30it is
17:31I am a person who does not treat myself with care.
17:34It's an outdated OS riddled with bugs.
17:38This is probably about as good as I am.
17:42I am not worthy of being in a beautiful environment.
17:47Deep within the brain
17:49That operating system is whispering to you 24 hours a day.
17:54But then a dramatic turnaround occurs.
17:58In the small steps I discussed in Chapter 5...
18:01You threw away one receipt.
18:04Half of the desk was made into a regular size.
18:07What happens in the brain at that moment?
18:11The OS rewrite update has begun.
18:15Oh? Am I the kind of person who can throw away trash?
18:20Do I deserve a clean desk?
18:24This small sense of unease is
18:26This is a sign that the new OS is starting to install.
18:32And I am a person who can treat myself with care.
18:36I am a person who belongs in a well-equipped environment.
18:40This change in self-image is
18:43It's the secret to dramatically changing your life.
18:46Changing your room changes your way of thinking.
18:49Changing your thinking changes your choices.
18:52If your choices change, your actions will change.
18:55Life changes
18:57Tidying up is not just cleaning.
18:59How to define yourself
19:02It's a way of promoting myself.
19:05The floor is visible
19:06The object is in its designated place.
19:09By continuously showing that scenery to your brain every day
19:12The brain will definitely be reprogrammed.
19:15This is called neurotic hypersaturation.
19:19Self-image is an operating system
19:21When it is updated to the latest version
19:24Your actions will change automatically.
19:28The words I choose change
19:29The person I date changed
19:31The quality of work will start to change.
19:34Momo-san, do you think I can do it too?
19:38I'm okay, I've been able to listen to this story up to this point.
19:42Your brain already wants to change
19:45It's starting to emit a strong signal.
19:51Rewrite the story of who you are
19:56What did you think?
19:57The neuroscience of tidying up that will change your life
20:01I woke up in a clean room this morning.
20:04There are no unfinished tasks in sight.
20:08Working memory is 100% free.
20:11Dopamine is ready to be released at any time.
20:15In this state, you are no longer the same person you were before you cleaned up.
20:19It's a person.
20:21Concentration is sharpened
20:23The speed of decision-making has tripled.
20:25A challenge that I had given up on because I thought it was impossible
20:29For some reason, I start to think I might be able to do it.
20:33This is why it's said that tidying up can change your life.
20:37That's the real reason.
20:39Decluttering is not about throwing away things from the past.
20:43To receive the best future
20:46Create a huge workspace in your brain
20:49It's a strategic investment.
20:52An environment where the brain can perform at its best.
20:55I make it with my own hands.
20:57If you close this video today
20:59Just one for now
21:01The unfinished things that are right in front of me
21:04Let's put it back where it belongs.
21:06At that moment, your brain begins to update.
21:11There are untapped talents lying dormant within our brains.
21:15To leave it buried under a pile of clutter...
21:19What a waste
21:22Your brain will regain its original brilliance
21:26A new life is beginning
21:29I'll always be watching over you.
21:33Thank you for watching until the end today.
21:36thank you
21:38May your tomorrow be filled with many smiles.
21:42See you again
