“I can’t give you a surefire formula for success, but I can give you a formula for failure: try to please everybody all the time.” – Herbert Bayard Swope, first recipient of the Pulitzer Prize

WLC Day 38: Declutter one physical or virtual space every day.

Practice Dates: Saturday, October 24th to Friday, October 30th

Simple Instructions:

• Each day, clean up or “declutter” one space in your life
• The space can be physical, like a desk or closet, or virtual, like your email inbox or Evernote notebooks
• You may also pick a large project, like your garage, and tackle a small part of it each day
• The space does not need to be large and it need not take long to clear up

Why is this practice important?

There are lots of small things we let stand in the way of making the big moves in life. It helps a lot to have clarity in and around you when you’re making important choices.

Cluttered physical, virtual, even mental spaces provide unnecessary obstacles to doing what matters to you.Feeling like you’re surrounded by messes or chaos can keep you in “putting our fires” mode — the need to take care of the nagging things right in front of you first.

When your spaces are clear, new paths can open up. Waking up or living in an uncluttered reality can provide a sense of calm and leave room for creativity and productive action to flow.
