Clutter isn't just the stuff laying around the house or work space. Clutter is also about what goes on in your mind.
Think about it. Your mind is a fantastic thing, but even it needs help. If you aren't organized in your space, your time and your to-do lists, guess who is going to try to remember all that?
Yup - your poor over-worked brain. The thing is, you may not even be aware of a lot of that because it is going on at a subconscious level. But you wonder why you're feeling tired and stressed, and why it's hard to work well even when it seems you have time.
How do you help your mind?
By creating a series of systems that you learn to trust. For example, if you have a tickler file where you keep all the items that need to be done on a certain day, and you have yourself trained into the habit of using it daily, then your mind heaves a sigh of relief because it knows it doesn't have to remember that anymore.
