De-Clutter your Life



Nature encourages clutter. When you work in an office for months, for instance, without making a conscious effort to keep your workplace clean, it will be cluttered. Clearing clutters in your environment saves you a lot of time, instead of searching everywhere for an item. You can free up space quickly by shifting unwanted items.

You can also remove clutters from your mind. Few decades ago, the great scientist, Albert Einstein dipped his hand into his pocket, and ransacked it, until he came up with a piece of paper where he wrote his telephone number. He doesn't clutter his mind with information that he considered not very important. Do not forget that paper that does not not loose its memory.. You can incorporate using a daily planner, or you can even use reminders on your mobile phone.

Refresh your mind.. Contemplate where you feel most relaxed – most at ease and consider why. Often it is a clear, open and airy environment with minimal distractions; somewhere you can really unwind. Most times, when you de-clutter your mind, new ideas will come.

Dispose items that are not needed.Human capital development experts have discovered that there are many ways you can start de-cluttering. You can donate to charity or give unwanted stuff to other worthwhile causes; you can sell it or auction it, give it as presents (ask first!) it’s not really fair to off-load things to people who don’t really want them or perhaps are de-cluttering too!

De-cluttering improves your health. De-cluttering can affect your health positively when you have less dust and more space to breath. When your house is really clean, you can find things again and know where they are when you need them. Becoming organized can lessen unnecessary stress and allows you to feel calm rather than rushing around or getting flustered trying to locate something you have mislaid. You can be running a hundred meter dash in your room when it is messed up. Save your time by de-cluttering.

Furthermore, Health problems can be caused by clutter. Take for instance, mosquitoes breed in swampy areas. Respiratory problems such as allergy induced asthma can be caused by clutter it makes breathing difficult. The term suffocating is quite appropriate to describe this!

De-clutter your house. There may be `some materials that you don't really need. You may check your wardrobe for clothes that are worn out and shoes that you don't wear again, and every other item that you are not using often. You can check every nook and cranny of your house for things you can't get rid of that,because it is still in good shape, and dispose it.

Ask yourself the right question. When you ask the right question, you will get the right answer. "What am I keeping this for?" Investigate the reason, and then ask yourself "Can I live without this item?" If you can live without it, what are waiting for? Dispose it. Do you really need twenty shoes and fifty shirts, fifteen televisions and seven diaries?answered truthfully.

Put your workplace into order. A business consultant once counseled that, "A dirty environment is the first sign of acute disorganization. Routinely de-clutter your office, or you can pay someone to do it for you. At a seminar recently, I was told about a woman who earns a living from folding clothes for busy business executives.

Clutters can lead to emotional problems. Have you ever felt confused on what to do when you have a hundred and one thought flowing through your mind? When you are thinking of too many things at the same time, you may begin to forget some other things. There are times that you can get confused because of clutters. You have to de-clutter your mind.

There is an emotional burden and responsibility that comes with the ownership of too many things. Additionally the many decisions that need to be made to clear clutter may be weighing heavily on the person's mind. You might have spent a lot of money to purchase an item, but if you don't really need it, dispose it.

Meditation helps to remove clutters from the mind. Here is a simple meditation exercise. Go to a serene environment and sit on your two legs, oe lie on your back. Then focus on a single thought. This may seem hard the first time you try it. Breathe in air through your mouth for about eight seconds. With your mouth closed, breathe out slowly through your nostrils. You can do this for fifteen minutes before you sleep at night, or early in the morning.

Removing clutter is easy. To de-clutter your life, do every thing orderly. Don't forget that success has an order. There are some steps that people take that make them successful. Take for instance, Michael Joseph Jackson started singing at the age of five. His success recipe include: hard work, persistence, giving and being passionate. I will talk more about that next week.
