Are you struggling with the clutter that seems to accumulate in your home or office? Feeling a little overwhelmed with where to begin and how to start to make a difference?
Can I suggest that ridding yourself of one item per day for a year will change your life! Imagine 365 items gone! Would it make a difference? Do you believe that you can let one thing a day go? I KNOW you can!
Start with easy things. Things that might even be just trash! Choose a time each day to deal with this project … maybe it is right after you finish dressing in the morning, or if you are work, during your morning break. It should take less than one minute to scan the area, select and item and either toss it, add it to a “donate” box you have labeled. The donation box can be distributed on a day when you have 10 minutes to drop it off!
Just one item a day! Oh–by the way. If you bring something new into your space, the rules for this game require you eliminate the daily “one,” AS WELL AS one item for each new item you bring in. So, be careful what you allow into your space! Remember that everyTHING we bring into our lives–stuff, commitments, relationships, food–requires our energy and time in one form or another.
So–what is the item you will eliminate TODAY! I’d love to know what you want to let go!!
Oh–and by the way. The rules of the game DO allow for you to get excited and eliminate more than one thing a day. In fact … there are no limits! Go for it!
