Are you finding your creativity is a little blocked these days?  The answer to getting unblocked may not be what you think yet it’s right there in front of you.

“Clutter is not just the stuff on your floor—it’s anything that stands between you and the life you want to be living.” — Peter Walsh

Yes, the answer is the clutter in your life.  Disorganized spaces.  Junk Drawers.  That pile of clothes on your closet floor.  The pile of books on your nightstand.

You may see pockets of clutter as no big deal – it’s simply a part of living the average life.  Who cares, right?  But what if I told you that these “normal” pockets of clutter are distracting you from your best work?

Everything has energy: the cup we drink our coffee out of, the outfit we wear to work, our beautifully made bed and the stack of laundry.  We need the energy in our lives to focus on our work, for our dreams, for challenges and for staying healthy.

Every time we encounter something in our world that is undone, incomplete, or overdue, our energy to focus on what matters the most is drained.  Disorder and clutter distracts us from being productive.

Disorder keeps us from pursing our dreams and gets us to spend time on being busy instead of doing our best work.

Every time you open a drawer and have to look for something, your mind refocuses.  It turns to the task of finding scissors and distracts you from writing that chapter of your book, that blog post, that sales letter or the perfect line of a song.

You could decide to “get organized” and to do it all NOW.   You know, that manic-mode?  Start the day with a couple of back-to-back Venti Mochas from Starbucks, launch into hyper mode, and run around like a crazy woman clearing spaces.  I’ve done that before and ended up somewhat organized.  I also end up exhausted and no clearer in my thinking beyond “clean”.

How do you eat an elephant?  One bite at a time.

So, how can you attack your clutter without exhausting and overwhelming yourself?   Get things streamlined, de-cluttered, and organized in small, steady doses.  This approach allows us to slowly add routines and build a momentum of organization, without the exhaustion at the end.   It also adds to – instead of draining – that precious energy.
