Change Your Bad Clutter Habits By First Changing Your Attitude
It’s important to understand that there are two main things you can change about yourself that will help you let go of clutter: your attitude and your habits. Neither is easy to change, but of the two changing your attitude is most essential. Change your clutter-attracting attitude, and you won’t have to change as many habits.
Clutter is, at bottom, mainly about attitude. To be free of “stuff stress,” you need to let go of either the attitude that causes you to acquire clutter or the attitude that makes you feel bad about keeping it.
Get in the habit of consciously choosing to limit your intake of potential clutter. Learning to set limits is a crucial part of this process. Start setting limits by practicing saying no to things, offers, activities, and people that use up your money, time, efforts, and energy in unfulfilling ways.
The word “no” has been called the most powerful time management tool ever invented. So work on saying no to incoming clutter of all kinds on a daily basis, and you can start saying yes to whatever you’d really rather spend your resources on.
