Living Simply
Declutter Your Home and Your Life
Do you need or want to know how to declutter your home or your life?
Do you believe in living simply but find it difficult?
Are you surrounded by things that serve no purpose in your life and get in the way of the things you need?
Do you constantly feel overwhelmed and does it get you down?
Email overload, piles of magazines and useful information, kitchen cupboards that won't shut, children's activities that have us running from one side of town to the other after school, indigestion and piles of laundry all have one thing in common. They are signs of too much going on in our lives.
As your home is reasonably tidy you may think that your life is clutter free. Yet modern life with all its baggage is insiduous. You rigorously throw things out, organise your life and work hard to ensure that you stay in control.
However you can almost guarantee that in at least one area of your life there will be clutter accumulating.
Apart from emotional baggage it may be the difficulty you have in saying no when people request your help. Before you know it your diary is too full and you lose sight of your own priorities.

To move your life forward when submerged in clutter, be it time, things or negative emotions, makes progress difficult if not impossible. Consider trying to wade through thick mud or snow and you can get an idea of what it is like.
Another view is the old proverb of finding a needle in a haystack. How can you see your real priorities clearly when surrounded by so much 'noise'?
There are various methods and techniques you can use to remove this excess from your home and life.
To regain control in your life and see things more clearly you will need to define your priorities, or decide what you want to keep.
Then slowly and methodically you can clear the build up of clutter that you have accumulated over the years. At this step you either give away or throw away the unnecessary stuff. For activities this equates to dropping or delegating them.
