Simply put: clutter prevents us from living free and full lives. Clutter inhibits us from living a peaceful and purpose-filled life because clutter promotes an anxious, frantic, hurried, and rushed experience of reaction.
Whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. 1 John
The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied. Proverbs
Guard yourselves and keep free from all covetousness (the immoderate desire for wealth, the greedy longing to have more); for a man's life does not consist in and is not derived from possessing overflowing abundance or that which is over and above his needs. Luke
Mental clutter has a symbiotic relationship with physical clutter.
Clutter gets in the way, it’s distracting, and it doesn’t belong.
Clutter is a pile of delayed decisions.
Here’s how to kill the clutter.
If it’s not being used, put it away or get rid of it.
Focus on the task at hand, keep a notepad for drifting thoughts.
Do it now, complete small tasks immediately. Most tasks can be completed in 2 minutes.
Every night, find the things that don't belong, and bring them home.
Don't walk past the same pile two days in a row. Delayed decisions collect compound interest.
