I'm very proud to say that my room is now clutter free. My extra stacks of papers and pens are put away, my DVDs have their place in the house, and I've gained more desk space. When I read that clutter can effect your physical and mental health, I had to agree. After a month of radically cutting out the excess in my life, I find myself enjoying quiet moments, and being able to focus on what is most important. It took a big change in my thinking to get everything clean. I learned to look at everything that I own but not use as stress. It's a ball of barbwire rolling around my house and mind. That helped me let go and put my items on eBay, and I'm glad to say I made a nice little sum of money! If you've been thinking about cleaning up your act this year, NOW is always the best time. If you have a good organization tip or story, please share it with me in the comments section.
