Finding Time to Start Fresh by De-Cluttering

Posted on November 3, 2008, under Self-Care Time, Transitions and Time.

Happy Monday – and Happy November! The transition from Daylight Saving to Standard time can be a real test of time management skills. I hope it went well for you!

Do you find that, at the start of a new month, you sometimes have the urge to get organized and “de-clutter”? Judging from what I was reading on Twitter this past weekend, many were in that mode! So many people were Tweeting about clearing out paper from their offices, cleaning closets, culling their in-boxes – all kinds of simplifying and de-cluttering activities.

Bare TreesJust as November’s winds bring down the last of the leaves, letting us look into the deeper recesses of the woods, de-cluttering clears your space and clears your energy! Transitional times always provide opportunities to reflect and to make changes as you embark on a new beginning. De-cluttering can be a wonderful way to reduce stress and start the new month with a clean slate!

I am a contributing author to an e-book on the subject of de-cluttering that offers great information and a wide variety of tips on ways to address the clutter in our lives.  Clutter Free and Clear:  Take Charge of Your Time and Space! is published by Sheldon Felton, LLC and contains chapters by the following experts:  Tara J. Sheldon, MSW; Sallie Felton, CMC; Carol M. Olmstead, FSII; Elaine F. Cidzik; Kathryn Burnett, CMC, LSW; Pam Holland; Xhazzie Kindle, and Paula Eder, Ph.D.! I encourage you to check out the e-book, if you are interested in more information.

Take advantage of your de-cluttering energy during times of transition.  It needn’t be an all day affair (remember to “Think 15!“).  Whatever amount of time you have, harness a bit of that energy this week to de-clutter your time or simplify your work or living space.  You’ll be so glad that you did!
