Get things done as required, get ahead instead of your work and not behind. Nothing worse than being weighed down by the feeling of procrastination. If it's gotta be done anyway, then why not tackle it right now (or at least get a start on it)?

Don't take on any extra responsibility until what you're currently working on is complete. While it's important to have objectives and challenges, the less you have going on at one time, the better.

Better to start with the harder tasks early on in the day and to taper off as the day progresses. That way, you will be able to switch off in the afternoons/evenings knowing that you deserve a break (unless you're like me, too busy to take a break!). Also, free time and breaks are always more enjoyable once you've earned them.

Thank you, Thomas. I do have a fair number of books, but I like them, and they are organized. (ditto guitars!) Don't know how my folks instilled neatness and organization in me, but I've been that way from childhood. You're right, it helps in business. Thanks for the post!

That's a good way to be, Rick, you seem like the type who would be fairly well-organised. Especially if you're a keen guitarist, there is no harm in keeping a tidy collection of well-loved music books!

I'm still working on trying to manifest $10, 000, 000 into my life a la Mr Carrey (oops almost forgot we don't mention his name)!
Cheers!

I've learned that having too much clutter can lead to disorganization and that leads to wasting/losing time, money, etc.

I read an organization book once that said "if you don't love or use an item often, it can very easily be clutter." I'm still working on that, lol.

Thanks for this terrific blog. :)

It's a good old saying, Jenna.

Yes the hardest bit can be parting with items that we've collected, but I've found after the initial shock of getting rid of it, I rarely ever miss it!

Thanks for your contribution. :)

In yesterdays newspaper it said, technostress is controlling our lives. More free time is necessary to be able to function well .Technostress gets us addicted to smartphones. We are always in our heads busy with the digital world. The advice from an antropologist is to get anchored again, switch everything off, litterally and think about where you are now in life and am I glad where I am now? This way you can charge your batteries. Cleaning up clutter also makes you feel more free. Marion

Well said, Marion, thanks for contributing this to the discussion. "Technostress" is a great term for it, it tends to engulf and swallow up our lives even when we're not aware of it (wouldn't it be nice to have just a few days away from our phones!).
You can learn a lot from reading articles like that, so thanks again for your input.
Cheers :)
