Clear your home and your mind!
Jun 13, 2011

Clutter is caused by the need to justify wastefulness. It is a collection of possessions that no longer serve a purpose in our daily lives but seem to take up valuable space. More times than not we think only of the physical impact that clutter has on our space. But it is the emotional impact of the clutter that makes it almost unbearable to deal with.

Limit Surfing Time
Do you often find yourself searching for something on the web, only to find yourself still surfing hours later looking at a completely different topic? It’s easy to get drawn into the Internet, so limit your time. If you need to do Internet shopping, schedule this time in your diary and stick to your allocated time. This really is a time zapper so be weary of browsing the Internet too often!
Eliminate Excessive Emailing
Constant checking of emails – at work or home – is a huge time waster. You will invariably get stuck into working through your emails rather than finalising a project or getting on with your household chores! Limit yourself to specific time slots to check your email such as just before lunch and mid-afternoon. Don’t let e-mails consume your day!
Focused Work Meetings
Ensure your meetings at work have a purpose and an agenda. There is little point meeting to ‘discuss’ a project; you must achieve something at the end of the meeting. If possible, don’t attend the entire meeting if much of it is unrelated to your role. Attend for the slot that relates to your area and save valuable time.
Log Your Time
If you are truly unsure where your time goes and you are struggling to identify your time wasters, log your day. Track what you do in the day and assess which activities you could have done more efficiently or avoided completely. You will soon know what unnecessary moments of your day you can do without!
Once you have eliminated some of your biggest time wasters and removed these unnecessary obstacles, you will find more time. Remember to use it wisely. Don’t simply fill up this time with more chores! Spend these extra minutes on you – taking time out will make you a happier mum!
If you would like to know more about improving your time management skills, Empowering Mums has produced the invaluable e-book How To Find More Time. For more information, please visit http://bit.ly/b5IKCc. This is truly a must for busy mums!

Sometimes all it takes to tackle this emotional hurdle is to ask for help. Having a support group standing by is a very comforting feeling when dealing with the "clutter".  We have a multitude of tips and best practises we can share with you. However, it is essential that you recognise the impact this clutter is causing you personally.

  • Does it have sentimental value?
  • Is there a monetary value?
  • Do you feel it will take too much time to declutter?
  • Is the motivation missing or do you just not know where to begin?
  • Do you simply lack the organisational structure?

These are all great questions to ask yourself. But one of the biggest questions to ask is: How much space would I gain and how much clearer would my mind be without the clutter?

We can answer all your questions and provide you with the valuable support you need to declutter your home and your mind once and for all. Please make sure your partner and children are involved as well....we would not want to accidently throw out a valuable record collection or a priceless toy!
