Get Rid of the Clutter!

Something that will hold you back and can create unexpected risk is excess clutter in your life.  This clutter can be stuff, paper, activities, or even people.  It’s anything that blocks the calm space you need to address changing financial issues.  You must have the time, energy and space to work, learn, manage and grow. If this is your situation, you first need to acknowledge the obstacle and risk it creates, then handle one decision at a time until you have the surroundings that support you in your financial growth. If this doesn’t seem significant, ask yourself whether the clutter, the negative people, or the activities exist in your vision of your ideal life.  And, what is the cost of the clutter?  What will it cost you if you lose an important financial paper during a tax audit, for example? Likely your ideal lifestyle is not cluttered with papers and stuff and negative people – therefore, this needs to be cleared up before you can move ahead.

How? Start with a list of all the areas where clutter is bothering you, and then list all the stuff.  After you have a list, you start to prioritize rooms, areas, and sections in your home and your life.  Then make a plan, set some dates, book some time and follow through.
