Reduce your Clutter for Better Productivity

One of the biggest road blocks in the path to productivity are the material things we fill lives with. We surround ourselves with the things we own, but in many ways our stuff really owns us. We have to maintain, clean, and constantly sort our stuff. At a certain point we need to get a bigger house to hold our stuff and move our stuff to find other stuff. Now it isn’t that material things are bad, but we have to recognize that everything comes with a cost. Most people recognize this with pets. Before you get a dog, you think through the responsibility it will entail, who will watch it when you travel, etc. While material things may not be as high-maintenance as a dog or cat, there are very few things that are truly maintenance free.

The problem is that many people are very bad at deciding what is actually important to them, so they end up acquiring a great number of items that aren’t particularly important to them, but consume their time and space. They never get rid of anything because they don’t have any mental framework to understand what really isn’t valuable to them. When you don’t know what is important, you tend to keep everything.

The point here isn’t to get rid of everything down to a specific number. The goal is to make sure that your precious time and effort isn’t getting sucked away taking care of things you don’t really even want. Need help reorganising your life?
