Clutter drains your energy. You know it’s there, you’re thinking you should do something about it. It weights on your mind.
Yet you don’t have the motivation to actually do anything about it.
It’s not a good feeling having to work around clutter to do things you want or need to do.
Little by little clutter creeps up on you. Sometimes you can get it to the point where you can tidy up, but it never really goes away.
What is the solution? How can you get rid of clutter once and for all?
The number one thing that needs to happen is that you need be motivated to do something about it. It starts there.
But it’s hard to get motivated when you don’t know how to start.
It’s a mindset thing. Set aside the feelings of overwhelm, sadness and anger for a moment. Take a deep breath. Set timer for 15 minutes and just start moving things around.
Start with the easy things.
Some things don’t belong where they are and so put them where they belong.
Other things you can simply get rid of.
For everything else just put them aside for the moment.
Even if it feels like you’re not making progress, you are, just by doing these things.
Really, that’s how to get started. It’s simple when you break it down to a small area and a short period of time.
You might even find yourself getting into it as you see the results.
Give it a try and let me know how it goes!
