Clutters

In life, the older we are the more belongings we have and gradually it will reach a stage where it will overwhelm us. The clutters in our house or work place are definitely increasing and if we do not have a good system to handle the clutters, it is only a matter of time that it will affect our quality of life.

Problems of having too much clutters

Whenever we have too much clutters in our workplace or home, it tend to affect our mood and weigh us down.

If we have huge amount of clutters in our work place, we give others the impression that we are sloppy and have a bad working attitude. Clutters in our life tend to affect our productivity too.

Think of the time when we need something and we need to spend a whole 2 hours searching for it just because it is hiding behind our stacks of books. Time is being wasted just because of the clutters.

3 tips to help you clear the clutters

1. Routine - Spend a minimal of 10 minutes everyday to clear up your stuff to prevent the clutters from increasing.

2. Have a good filing system - Organize your files and file up important document regularly to ensure that you can find them as soon as you need them.

3. Throw away things that you don't need - We tend to keep things that we thought that we would need it later on but most probably we will not use it again. Throw away things that you don't really need and the if you had not taken a look at something in 3 years time, most probably you won't ever need it.

Parting Words

By removing clutters in our life, we are able to enhance our productivity and also have a piece of clearer mind. Try keeping your house and work place clutter free and you will reap the benefits.

Very close to 5S from the lean manufacturing sphere.

1. Sort - get rid of everything which is unlikely to be used.
2. Set - a place for everything and everything in its place.
3. Shine- sweep and clean, now that everything is tidy take the opportunity to give everything a scrub
4. Standardise - Make mainting this part of your standard work practise
5. Sustain - Keep the new standard work processes in place.

It's amazing after a few weeks how much more efficient you can be when you get used to everything being in its place and not having to look for anything ever again.

Very informative. Thank you for sharing. I would like to add that just like removing physical clutter is important, so is removing our emotional clutter by letting go of unwanted baggage. That may be even more important in some ways.

Cheers,

Hi Gayathri,

I got to agree that removing emotional clutter is important too. With emotional clutter, we tend to be affected by it in every way possible and it tends to weigh us down. Thanks for the added point.
