A quick trip to the store...

and when I returned, I opened the front door and was again greeted by a clean, and more importantly, serene living room and dining room.

I don't want to overstate this, but holy shit, this is a remarkable improvement.

I've lived with clutter most of my adult life, but it's been only recently that I've begun to equate clutter with a busy, spinning, whirling, unordered mind. It's a lot harder to maintain serenity and mindfulness surrounded by piles of crap than in it is in an environment that reflects calm and order.
