Spring cleaning and organizing is a wonderful thing.
As you clear your cluttered desk, you clear your cluttered mind.
Dumping things you no longer need lightens your step.
Organizing online files for easy access streamlines your work.
My wife hired a home organizer a couple of weeks ago, and our home has been transformed.
I caught the bug and decluttered my office, drawers, and vitamin bottles.
And to top it all off, last week I did an Ordinary Visionary Interview with Marsha Sims, a professional organizer.
I’ll be posting it on Friday.
What is the impact of really getting organized?
I consulted AZQuotes.com for some wisdom on clutter and getting organized:
“Organizing is what you do before you do something so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up.”
– A. Milne (Author of Winnie the Pooh)
“There should be a place for everything, and everything in its place.”
– Benjamin Franklin
“Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.”
– Immanuel Kant
“Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.”
– William Morris
“Want freedom? Get organized. Want to get organized? Get creative.”
– David Allen
“An idea can only become a reality once it is broken down into organized, actionable elements.”
– Scott Belsky
“The reason why clutter clearing is effective is that while you are putting your external world in order, there are corresponding changes going on internally too.”
– Karen Kingston
“When you have cleared all of your clutter, you can be of greater service to those around you.”
– Michael Kitson
“Three Rules of Work: Out of clutter find simplicity. From discord find harmony. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.”
– Albert Einstein
“The greatest need of our time is to clean out the enormous mass of mental and emotional rubbish that clutters our minds.”
– Thomas Merton
Is it time to start your spring cleaning/organizing and haul a ton of no longer useful stuff to the second-hand store?
Cheers, Robert

The hardest things for me to throw away or even give away are items passed down from mob parents or grandparents, even when I have no need for them.
