For this blog post in video form, please head to my YouTube channel or check the bottom of this post.
Nowadays, much of your business is probably online, if not digitally focused—from files to photos, invoicing to emails. Especially since COVID, most who were not previously online have now joined, and some businesses have become totally online. These tips for reducing mental overwhelm are focused on the digital aspect of business clutter.
Watch this video to find out how to reduce mental overwhelm caused by clutter. At the end of the video and post, I will give you the #1 resource to help you be productive and not constantly interrupt your workdays. If you are an entrepreneur, you need this.
Clutter always reveals your mindset. If you operate with low self-esteem, you may own more expensive clothing than necessary because you use retail therapy as a means to feel happy. If you are worried about money, you may keep items that you don’t necessarily need. If you’ve dealt with loss and grief, you may be more attached to sentimental items than someone who has not gone through similar experiences. The bottom line is that clutter is a symptom of deeper things going on in your psyche, and when you deal with clutter, you can transform into the person you are meant to be.
Go back to a time when you were surrounded by clutter and think about how it made you feel. It could be a cluttered desk, a stuffed attic, or your mind full of so many tasks you didn’t know where to start. You don’t need a psychology degree to understand that when you think back to these times you get a bit stressed — or in medical terms, your cortisol levels rise.
I will tell you how a few simple tips can help.
