34. ARE YOU DECLUTTERING REGULARLY OR ALLOWING THINGS TO PILE UP?
A busy environment typically results in a cluttered mentality. Many people struggle with organisation because they let things—both physical and mental—accumulate over time. Instead of dealing with jobs or issues as they arise, they push them away, assuming they will address them later. The issue is that “later” frequently develops into weeks, months, or even years. If you want to keep organised, decluttering should become a habit rather than an occasional activity.
Delays in decision-making are one of the primary causes of clutter accumulation. People often keep items they don’t need because they’re unclear whether to discard them or keep them “just in case.” The same is true for digital clutter—old emails, unneeded files, and unread notifications pile up when left unchecked. A basic rule to follow is that if you haven’t used it in the last six months and it no longer serves a clear purpose, it is definitely time to get rid of it.
To remain ahead of the clutter, organise regular decluttering sessions. Instead of waiting until your room becomes too cluttered, set aside time each week or month to clean up. This might be as simple as organising your desk every Friday, cleaning up your wardrobe every few months, or frequently eliminating unnecessary files from your computer. Making decluttering a routine prevents items from stacking up and allows you to easily maintain an organised space.
Decluttering is more than just clearing things; it is about establishing an environment that promotes productivity and peace of mind. A clutter-free environment lowers stress, saves time, and makes it easier to find what you need. When you clear out distractions and superfluous stuff, you free up brain energy for more vital tasks.
