Don’t Let The
Clutter In!
2 Steps to Stop Clutter Collecting
How do we collect clutter in the first
place? After all we came into the world possession free!
Its all in the ……..
Be Clutter Free Equation
Items
In minus Items Out
If you are happily removing
clutter but are adding things just as fast then you won’t
ever feel clutter free.
Step One
Identify where the clutter is coming from. Observe your life
and you will find your clutter collection spots:
Junk
Mail: Do you have a pile which
contains things you will look at ‘one day’? When
was the last time you looked at anything in the pile?
Email:
Do you get lot’s of unwanted email? Or are you inundated
with Newsletters (!!!???) that you thought would be a good
idea?
Gifts:
When you receive unwanted gifts do they lurk at the bottom
of a cupboard?
Shopping: Are you always
tempted to purchase things: books, clothes, storage solutions,
etc and then find that you don’t really use or enjoy
them?
Undone
Tasks: Is your mind cluttered
with tasks ‘to be done’ that never seem to get
to the top of the list?
Ideas:
Are you a creative person whose head is always so full of
ideas that it drives you crazy?
Step
Two
Stop and Create Systems that work for you! Here are some ideas:
• One in one out.
If you buy a new item then another can go
• Purchase only
consumables for a set amount of time
• When you are
about to make a purchase ask yourself: ‘Do I really
need this? Do I really want this? Will this add value to my
life?’
• Unsubscribe to
unread newsletters – cut the clutter in your inbox
• Get taken off
the junk mailing contact lists
• Put all your
ideas on paper, into a folder and off your mind
• Open your mail
by the waste bin – dispose of junk mail straight away
• Talk to friends
and family about gifting to charity on your behalf or be brave
and let them know what you’d really like for your birthday!
Rejoice!
Enjoy what you have and…..
work towards a vision of your perfect environment.
