Declutter your life in 15 minutes, for those who dont have 90 hours to spare.
I was reading earlier tonight in preparation for my continuing series on August Declutter month as part of the AR August cloudburst challenge.
I came across a blog suggesting developing a 10 minute a day habit of doing something simple to eat away at your piles of clutter.
Great ideas, especially since if you are like me, those 10 minutes will morph into a longer stretch of cleaning power.
This blogger's premise is that this habit will add up to an amazing 60 hours per year, and a very organized office and life.
Then a while later I came across a video that suggested an even better idea, let’s go for 15 minutes per day, it’s only an extra 5 minutes, and it will gain us a whopping 90 HOURS per year, and of course a very organized life.
So Join me starting today and see if we can develop this good habit.
A few starter ideas...
- Scan that pile of business cards into outlook.
- Type up or throw out that pile of notes on the corner of my desk
- Enter all those to-do’s into my To-do list, they will only get forgotten in that pile.
- Go through that desk drawer that has been needing a good cleanout since you first started in business.
- File that pile of papers.
- Shred that other pile of papers.
- Sort through one of the many email folders on your computer.
- Organize a few of the gazillion pictures on your HD, camera, SD card, phone, etc.
- Put those picture files in the proper client file on your computer.
- Put that pile of books away that have been stacking up by your reading chair.
- Organize your notes from the last workshop that you went to.
- Review an unfinished project and decide how to finish it or whether to end it and file it somewhere.
- Organize a shelf of your library.
- Clean all of those dusty papers out of your sorting racks, sorting racks are not filing cabinets you know.
- Sit down at your desk and look around more little projects will pop out.
- Clean up your vehicle.
- Put away those tools that someone dropped off on your desk.
- Find a pile of old magazines to review, file, or dispose of.
- Scan that newspaper article and toss the paper copy.
- Organize the office kitchen.
