Clearing the clutter

Did you know that clutter can bring you down? Think about how you felt last time you cleared out a space that was bothering you. It is a real sense of freedom whether it is a whole room, wardrobe or desk. It is worth investing the time in clearing the clutter.

What is clutter?
Over time our homes, have a tendency to accumulate and collect all kinds of treasures, gems and keepsakes. Now we all know that one person's trash is another person's treasures, but our homes can only hold so much!!!

Our motto is “Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful”.

Of course, this process will not be done in one day, after all it took years (or if we are really good, months) to make it this way.

Start slow and take the time needed to follow through. You will find that decluttering is not as hard as you thought it would be.

Declutter your Mobile Phone

Too often we leave the organising and decluttering until the end of the year – which is a busy time with celebrations and shopping. Or the start of the year – which is a good time for planning so why not schedule your decluttering gradually throughout the year? This means that it is not a massive job when it comes time to declutter.

Rather than tackle a whole job such as the office at once it is great to continuously work on smaller areas such as your mobile phone. What you say? Declutter my mobile?

Believe it or not there are many areas that do get decluttered in your mobile.

Contacts

Delete all temporary numbers.
Delete any numbers belonging to people that you don’t know.
If you are like me I always save numbers when clients / potential clients contact me so that I can wow them the next time they call by saying their name.

Photos / Video’s

If you don’t need the photo’s then delete them.
If they are worth keeping perhaps download them to your computer and print them.
If they are of friends send them to the person / persons that are also in the photos. Make their day and show them you are thinking of them.

SMS/ text messages
Delete all your old text messages from your:
Inbox
Outbox
Sent
Drafts
Even check the saved area and delete ones you no longer need.

Depending on your phone you may have other options such as:
Memo’s

Check your memo area on your mobile phone; do you really need all those old memo’s? Surely you have acted on them by now!

Tasks
Do you have old tasks that should be deleted? Now is the perfect time to delete them.

This task should only take 15 minutes but it is another job done and like everything when it is organized it saves you TIME in the long run.
