“Cleanliness is next to godliness.”
While some may debate this saying, keeping your surroundings clean and free of clutter is helpful when writing that best-selling novel.
I’ve learned from experience that I stress less when there’s no mess. When things are kept tidy, clean, and in their proper place, my mind can reflect likewise. There’s freedom from the constant worry of that bill sitting under a pile of paperwork that’s due in 2 days. There’s no trying to find the phone handset buried under cream soda cans.
Everyone has different ways in which they’re prone to making mess, whether it’s the workstation, desktop, inbox, e-mail messages, or even computer files.
If you struggle to conquer mess, here’s a routine that will help you kick the clutter out of your life.
Clean
De-Clutter
File
Clean and file as you go
Don’t obsess over avoiding mess
