Are you often

confronted with

this terrible

decision?

Which?!

“The  dif)iculty  

in  life  is  the  

choice”  George Moore

“When your values are clear to you, making decisions become

easier” Roy E. Disney

What is important to you?

“I  might  need  that  one  day”  

1.  Is it IMPORTANT to me? 2.  Does it ADD VALUE to my life? 3.  Does it MAKE ME HAPPY / happier? 4.  Will my loved one’s TREASURE it

when I am gone?

Ask yourself…

afraid?

How to De-Clutter your Wardrobe and clear your space

1.  Take EVERYTHING out

2.  Get 4 piles labeled KEEP, STORE, GIVE, THROW

3.  Start Sorting your stuff (clothes, shoes, bags, socks, tights, underwear, belts, hangars) •  ONLY keep the things that make you feel

good and fit the image you want to project.

•  DON’T keep things because they were gifts, they are expensive, or you haven’t used them.

De-Clutter your WARDROBE Ask yourself the following questions

KEEP if you answer YES   Do I love this item?   Does it fit me?   Do I wear it?   Does it project the

image I want to project?

  Would I buy it today?   Would I buy it today if it

wasn’t on sale?

GIVE AWAY if you answer YES   Will it make someone

else happy/happier?   Does it need to be

replaced with something newer?

  Is it stained or damaged?   Does it itch or scratch   Does it pinch my toes?   Are the heels to high to

walk in? This applies to shelves, cabinets and papers too.

De-Clutter your DIGITAL LIFE 1 and clear your mind

  Clear your computer DESKTOP every week. Sweep everything into one folder then sort through it, file and trash accordingly.

  Use BROWSER apps like Tab Killer, OneTab to limit the number of open windows

  Tame your EMAIL inbox by creating folders for work, personal, services/bills. Delete emails you no longer need. Flag or Star emails you need to get back to. Archive all messages over a year old (you can retrieve them if ever needed).

  Use unroll.me to UNSUBSCRIBE from unwanted email lists at one go. I found 98 in just one account!

De-Clutter your DIGITAL LIFE 2 and clear your mind

  Keep up with emails and ALERTS. Reply immediately. Don’t put it off. Then delete or archive. Assign time to work through your emails and start with your ‘flagged’ messages. Use a filter for VIP messages from important senders – no need to search for them.

  Manage your FACEBOOK friends to stop receiving newsfeeds from mere acquaintances who post a lot. Click on Friends or Birthday and unfriend or move them from friends to acquaintances.

  Tag your LINKEDIN contacts to prioritise them. Use Manageflitter to manage your twitter followers. Say no to push notifications from apps

De-Clutter your DIGITAL LIFE 3 and clear your mind

  Use the CLOUD to unclutter your device memory. Select upload to dropbox or other cloud accounts like google drive, iCloud for pictures and documents

  Use a PASSWORD manager like LASTPASS to create and manage all the different passwords. Don’t use the same ones for everything.

  DISCONNECT from the internet on your computer or phone ONE DAY A WEEK to decompress from the bombardment!!

Thank You!
