Have you taken up the Marie Kondo way and cast out the clutter in your home?
Last week I wrote about ‘being more strategic’ and how it requires bold vision and great thinking. I reckon clutter is one of the barriers to great thinking.
Mental clutter, that is.
“Every mind is a clutter of memories, images, inventions and age-old repetitions. It can be a ghetto, too, if a ghetto is a sealed-off, confined place. Or a sanctuary, where one is free to dream and think whatever one wants. For most of us it’s both – and a lot more complicated” wrote Margo Jefferson.
#Clutter is okay if it’s manageable, if you can find what you need, when you need it.
But when our clutter becomes overwhelming and moves towards hoarding, it’s hard to get focus.
So it was great to find these tips in The Muse about how to declutter your mind. I particularly like the idea of the digital junk drawer and am learning to love Evernote. .
