I scanned the important documents to my Evernote account and shredded those too! At home, I donated all the clothes in my closet I haven’t worn the past year to Kelli’s Kloset (a local nonprofit that gives free clothes to women cancer patients). I threw away everything that I no longer needed and shredded old documents.

To declutter at work, I cleaned out my desk and files. By having laser-focused, attainable goals, I am able to be more productive at work, leaving me much more free time in my personal life to do the things that I love like hanging out with my family and playing tennis with good friends, just to name a few. Unfortunately for me, it took a very sudden, unexpected loss in my life for me to really see what is important. Anything else I get done that day is icing on the cake! If I get the the three most important things done, that is considered a win for me.


This helps me stay focused on what is most important and reduces multi-tasking. One thing I have implemented that has tremendously helped me increase productivity and reduce stress is create a to-do list that includes only three things per day that I have to get done. In recent years, I’ve heard “unclutter” on New Year’s resolution lists more and more often (and for good reason!) Although it wasn’t my New Year’s resolution, I too have partaken in uncluttering my life by focusing on what’s most important in both my personal and professional life.ĭo you ever get in to bed at night and feel like you’ve accomplished nothing that day? If you have this feeling far too often, you aren’t alone.
