It doesn't work.....

That's the short answer. Hell, that's the only answer.

Clutter... well, I'm not as de-cluttered as you, I guess I'd be somewhere between total clutter and no clutter at all.. leaning a bit toward no clutter at all...with one exception....

In a lot of movies they'll show a 'home library', office I guess... think "Sherlock Holmes".... a room with massive bookshelves, books piled on tables, chairs, and a big comfy chair in the middle.... love those rooms. If I had one that would be my 'happy place'.
