Clutter bug

Where can you reduce clutter in your life?

I’m going to assume that this question refers to physical places, not my mind…because that would top the list if it did.

Aside from those things with sentimental value, I, just like most adults in the world, have things stashed in various places that I don’t need, don’t use, and kept simply because I thought they would be important or useful at some point in the future. During a recent “clutter purge” I found notes and forms related to a bank account that has been closed for the better part of ten years.

Truth be told, I have been making an effort to remove things from my environment that have no use or sentimental value. Old notebooks from work, items I obtained with the intention of using them but never did, trinkets that I thought were “freaking awesome” forever ago, but really are just crap. It’s actually serving to tame the daily level of anxiety that I experience, which is an unexpected benefit. My environment is not, has never been and will never be hospital-grade organized, to be clear. Even at its best, my mind is too chaotic for that.
