Clear Your Clutter - Now!


I've just spent the whole day clearing rubbish from the bottom of my garden.

The amount of garden waste that had built up over the last five years of cutting trees etc easily filled up two big vans.

The trouble was - I could have saved myself a day of hard labor if I had actually disposed of the waste as soon as I collected it. It's the same with life. Completely finish something before you move on to the next task. It's true for businesses, it's true for your home life.

The hardest part is usually starting something - so why make yourself 'start' it all over again just to finish it? So - I've decided. Any 'mess' that I make in my garden will be cleared up that day - period.

I don't know about you - but isn't it also nicer to come downstairs in the morning to find a clean kitchen and a tidy living room? On the rare occasions that things are 'left' overnight - it certainly affects my mood in the morning!

It's also good to practice a 'clearance of clutter' regularly. You know - those little things that you leave - like painting the house, or tidying the garage. Get them out of the way! If you don't they will clog up your thoughts - and the constant mental reminders will get in the way of more constructive thoughts.

I can now check one nagging thought off now that my garden is done. What can you get out of the way to make room for better things?
