Mental clutter

Getting organized is not only about the stuff that surrounds you. Many times disorder can come from a distracted mind. Before entering any organizational project, it is important to clear your mind of your to do list. In this multitasking society, this is not easy to do. Our mind is constantly moving on to the next idea or the next project.

An easy way to start is by taking 15 minutes at the beginning of the day. Schedule this time to work out a realistic plan for the day.

Be specific, be practical and work on clearing the mental clutter before anything else. These few moments of peace and planning will create a good foundation for the daily tasks of the day.

Consciously slowing your mind down to think through the day will help your productivity as well as your state of mind.
