One of the things I am frequently aware of and evaluating, especially as a business owner, is how I am spending my time. I haven’t yet met someone who feels they have the work-life balance down pat... and why would they? Our needs and responsibilities change throughout our lives.
In the last few months, I have become increasingly aware of how much time I spend managing my stuff and how out of all the things I spend my time on, this is one that doesn’t bring me much joy.
So I’ve been taking advantage of these rainy days to do some decluttering and purging. It’s helped by the fact that I will be downsizing where I live in the next few months. And as I’ve been working with the things I own, I’ve also been noticing how much digital clutter is accumulating, too. And I’m realizing that I don’t always want the answer to be to just get bigger houses or larger memory devices... everything has a weight to it. Even our digital footprint.
Have you done any cleaning recently and how did you feel after?
