The Clutter Continuum

I am a naturally organized person who prefers an uncluttered space. That does not mean, however, that I don't have dust bunnies under my sofa and papers on my desk, the table, well, okay, pretty much everywhere. Clutter is a relative thing. Some people can tolerate a lot more than others, but no matter where you are on the clutter continuum, you probably could use a little decluttering and organization. Most of us can.

Spring is somehow a natural time to do some clearing out of the old to make room for the new. You will feel better, be more relaxed and free up the mental energy that was being drained by the ever-present clutter. If you don't believe this, try it. I am betting that you will actually have more energy and feel better just by cleaning up and clearing it out. Even cleaning out a couple of drawers or a dresser or a closet can significantly improve your energy and mood levels.

Some people feel good tackling major projects such as cleaning out the garage or the attic to start, while others prefer to start small and progress steadily by cleaning out a single drawer a day or a week. Whatever method you use, it helps to have a plan and a deadline, both of which will help to motivate you. Just be sure not to set goals so unreasonable that you get overwhelmed and give up.

If you are ready for some cleaning, clearing and clarity, join me on a free teleclass, Spring Cleaning Fling to be held starting May 2nd. See http://www.lifeunfolds.com/workshops.htm for more information.
