No matter how hard we try to keep a clear head, it’s inevitable that we’ll all experience mental clutter from time to time. However, the key to happiness and taking back control of your life is to find effective ways to achieve clarity and to get rid of all that chaos in your mind to find a positive way forward.

Clutter comes in many forms, from physical mess in the home or workplace, to emotional baggage that you lug with you wherever you go. Clutter can even come in the form of toxic friendships. Someone who is supposed to care for you may only cause you more anguish and distress instead of happiness and positivity.

The good news is that, even if you’re finding life hard to control at the moment, by putting some simple organizational techniques into practice you can make an enormous difference to your mental and physical well-being. You can take back your life, improve your focus, reduce your distractions, and eliminate your stress points.
