I was standing at the end of my driveway at dawn talking with my wife, when a skinny bearded neighbor, with his left eye blackened and swollen shut, rode up on a bicycle. He skidded to a stop in front of us, reached down, and snatched one of the three newspapers on the ground at our feet. He then turned and rode back to his house while loudly declaring that now he would not have to buy his own copy.
Here is how uncluttering works: During REM sleep, your brain sends out signals that activate neural networks formed during the previous day. If important, the links are strengthened. If not, these REM sleep signals weaken the connections. Thus, important associations are reinforced and made more resistant to elimination, while trivial connections weaken and eventually disappear.
