You need to know what matters most to you generally in life and also set your priority for the day. What is priority? – You need to truthfully answer this question in order to channel your energy appropriately and order your life accordingly.Personally, each time I actually write my plans for the day, I always end up achieving more as opposed to just going about my day casually. Get your notepad/your phone write out your plan, those issues still outstanding for the year, for the month, for the day. Remember what is said about the faintest pen. Have your to-do list clearly written out – I know you think you are smart and your memory is as sharp as the needle pin, but sister/brother please write it out.

Need the strength to unclutter how to#
I know I am not the only one who has felt this way, so let us journey together on how to declutter our mental space, declutter our schedule and life in general and take back the steering wheel of our life. Hence, going back to the starting point, not moving forward and guess what’s worse? The year 2019 is almost over and I feel scared of it ending with me achieving nothing. I sometimes feel like I am running in circles inside a vehicle but not being able to take hold of the wheel. I’ve been feeling anxious, sad, angry, worried, and a ton of emotions for about a month now. Then it’s not a matter of whether or not those old Christmas decorations are still “good” or if every piece of artwork your child ever created is “good” but merely whether or not you have enough.My mind has been a mess, I have been screaming about being tired for more than a month now. If the experience of shortages during the pandemic has made you uneasy having less than a multi-month supply of frequently used dry goods and non-perishables in the house, then the answer to “How much is enough?” in regard to, say, laundry detergent or toothpaste is not “just what I’m using right now” but “as much as I’ll need for three months.” That’s what “How much is enough laundry detergent?” looks like for you and there’s nothing wrong with that.īy breaking away from the trap of “Is it good?” (which inevitably leads you to not remove clutter from your home) and moving to “How much is enough?”, you’ll have a useful way to frame what you’re looking at. The point of decluttering is not to get rid of everything indiscriminately, the point of decluttering is to remove clutter-stuff you don’t want or need.

So, the answer to the question of how many VGA cables I need is “One” if we’re being generous and “None” if we’re being a bit more critical.īut, the answer to the question doesn’t have to be some minimalist “one or none” deal.

I instead ask: “How many VGA cables are enough for my needs?” Given that I’m not running a retro computer museum and only one display in my entire computer-heavy house is using VGA, I most likely don’t need any or maybe just one as a spare. Most people hate the feeling of being wasteful or getting rid of something that is “good.”īut what if I reframe the question? I find the box of VGA cables. As children, we’re scolded for wasting good things: not eating all our food, using too much stuff around the house, and so on. If I find a box of VGA cables, the answer to the question “Are they still good?” is “Yes,” which then creates mental resistance to getting rid of them. As a long-time computer geek, I have tons of random computer equipment in my house I’m currently sorting through.
