How many of us feel that we could accomplish so much more, if we only had enough energy. Did you ever notice, that when you are not surrounded by clutter, and your belongings are organized, you have more energy?
Here are 6 ideas to get more energy by having less clutter…
1. Things have a way of piling up around us. To enable you to organize your clutter, first you need to purge what is not necessary. Easier said than done.
a. Decide what must go – what would you do if you were moving? Would you take this or not? If not, out it goes.
b. What if it’s still good and useful, but not to you? Donate. Goodwill is a good starting point, but also think of friends, friends’ kids, schools, organizations holding rummage sales…
c. What if it’s sentimental – decide whether it’s so important to your soul that you should put it in a safe memento-keeping spot. If it’s somewhat sentimental, maybe the realization that it will bring true joy to another person will make a parting decision for you. If you’re not sure, keep it, and see what you think next year. Don’t forget, once you give away that memento, you can’t get it back.
