Clean Out the Clutter Today

I love to look up random days on the national day calendar. Today is National Clean Your Room Day.

So  what does a clean room have to do with being a successful entrepreneur. I often have so many things going that my surroundings get cluttered and messy. Then, when it’s time to find something it takes forever. Frustration sets in and I just want to sit down an cry.

Here’s are some easy solutions to this cluttered scenario:

1. Set a timer – work in increments of 15 – 20 minutes.
2. Work on one area at a time. Avoid getting overwhelmed as you move forward. Pick one spot and clear it off.
3. Once an area is clutter-free, establish new habits that keep it that way.
4. Celebrate all progress.

I will be writing more on this topic as it is one that has been an issue in my life for many years. I am enjoying a clutter free office and I am more effective. At the same time, I still allow the creative juices to flow while working on a project. The difference lies in finishing well.
