Methinks DW was looking for magic words to get rid of the clutter, not what clutter thou possesseth.

I personally would never wish to devise some word or phrase to instantly remove my clutter; my clutter, as disorganized as it is, has a bizarrely-systematic organization to it which my brain subconsciously understands. When I need something, it's often on the floor and in a very conspicuous spot. More often than not, I find myself incapable of finding what I need after cleaning than with the clutter as it is; case in point, a couple weeks ago I began rearranging and cleaning my apartment, and several papers vanished which I rather needed: my upcoming semester schedule, a paper containing the phone number to the sleep lab where I still need to go for testing, the business card for my allergist who I need to see because my allergies have not abated under the prescription he gave me. I spent the better part of an hour tearing my place apart, thanks to cleaning. So for me, my magic phrase is: Clutter stay, clutter save.
