Introduction

A s a parent or a busy career-minded person, you may find that your life feels like a whirlwind of go, go, go . There are times that your mind will be so cluttered with all the details of what you need to do for the day, that you find it hard to shut down at night. This can lead to countless hours tossing and turning at night with no real sleep. That is when insomnia sets in and you start to walk around cranky and in a dazedue to lack of sleep and motivation. If this sounds all too familiar to you, then I know exactly how you feel.

I used to spend countless hours out of the night tossing and turning, worried about all the things that I needed to do the next day. I would spend my time throughout the day rushing to get all my to-dos doneonly to find that there were more to-dos than I realized. I would be overwhelmed, stressed out, and snippy with my loved ones. I found myself saying, Do not add more stuff to my plate. I would beg my kids to just sit down and be quiet. I found that no matter how much stuff I got done within the day, it was never enough. I always had more to do, and I felt like my list would never end. I was burning the wick at both ends.

I was burned out and stressed out, and I could feel my mental health declining. I noticed that how I felt was starting to be an everyday occurrence and that it was simply not how I wanted to live. I knew that my family deserved more and that I deserved to be happy and not so stressed out. That is when I started to work on my stress levels and my to-do lists. I decided that I needed to declutter my whole life. I started with my household environment and moved on to my mindset and mental health. I built a routine that worked better for me, with healthier choices and exercise added in. I noticed that once I started to gain a better handle on the clutter within my mind, my to-do list started to decrease, and I was able to accomplish more in my day with larger amounts of time for self-care and family commitments.

I knew that others were suffering just as I had, and I knew that living a cluttered life was creating more health problems for me and creating relationship difficulties for my friends and family. I worked so hard to improve my life and make things much less cluttered and stressful. With all the knowledge that I learned while decluttering my life, I knew that I had to share this information with the world. That is when I sat down and decided to write this manual to help you accomplish the same decluttering within your mind that I have been able to do for myself. I had written about my process, and I knew that it would make a good piece of groundwork for this book.

Chapter 1: Why People Live With Cluttered Minds

F or years, people have wondered if the way someone keeps their desk or home is how they feel inside and I hate to tell you that it absolutely, unequivocally means that they feel cluttered inside.

Those who are living in a space that is cluttered and chaotic oftentimes feel the same way in their mind and in their heart. Studies have shown that those who are born with that non-linear style of thinking will be hardwired to think more artistically and less organized. They tend to think of starting a project instead of filing the taxes. These are the type of people that would come home and jump on the next great project before they finish the first five that they started prior to this one. They will be the ones that you walk in and find them with papers on all of the counters with no clear organization or strategy.
