Decluttering (Repost)

So I had to get fed up… I had to look around and see that I had a lot of stuff that no longer served a purpose in my life or never did. The things and most important the people that meant the most to me had to take a back sit to my disorganization and clutter (and when I say clutter, I’m not necessarily talking about things but even tasks and people that were taking up time & space in my life). One day at work, I decided to write down my priorities. I had to see on a piece of paper what was important to me… not to realize their importance but realize the importance of the time and attention I wasn’t given them. (Your vision - you must 'follow' it! (1)) That list is a reminder to make sure that all of my time and effort is benefiting those priorities. Now that I have my motivation, I need to get rid of all those things that don’t benefit my priorities and/or took away from my priorities. So I am looking at relationships and how they are affecting my life. I am looking at my habits and realizing if those are beneficial. And I remind myself in order to meet my priorities; I have to sacrifice my wants and laziness. Matter of fact I am actively decluttering my home using these tips (http://zenhabits.net/zen-mind-how-to-declutter/ and http://zenhabits.net/15-great-decluttering-tips/). And after getting rid of what I don’t need, my plan is to organize what I decide is necessary and beneficial in my life. My approach on organization is to create a place for everything and keep everything in its place. When I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING. My number one priority is my relationship with God so I need to make time in my life for Him, my number two priority is my daughter and I am going to make sure her room has the things she need and I make the time she needs, and I’m thinking about purchasing a planner (www.franklincovery.com/quickstartguide) that I can organize my appointments, job tasks, shopping lists, etc. in one location (since I cannot bring my cell to work). L Now that I have my priorities set, decluttering my life, have plan for organizing… I will be able to live knowing that those that love the most is getting the most I have to offer, my time.
