Decluttering your mind

Decluttering Your Mind A cluttered mind is as bad as, if not more, a cluttered home. It is sometimes said that a cluttered home is a physical representation of a persons state of mind. Having a cluttered mind means you would largely be unable to concentrate or get things done when they are due. There are ways to declutter the mind and, in turn, boost your mental health and productivity. 1. Let go of the past The past usually is the root cause of mental clutter. Not the past per se but the inability to let it go. Constant pondering of the past and the resurfacing of painful events is unhelpful as it makes moving forward difficult. Learn from and immediately do away with memories of failures, missed chances and mistakes made. You must understand that no matter how much time you spend on old thoughts, you cannot go back in time to change anything. What happened has happened. 2. Sift the information you are taking The internet contains information of the vastest degree. This means that as a user and surfer of the net, you must sift through all the information you are taking in. The sifting is for useless information, fake information and uninformed or mistaken information. This is especially so when you are surfing for educational purposes. You must be deliberate with your searches and let go of what you deem unnecessary. Do not clog up your mind. 3. Prioritize A cluttered mind is an unorganized mind. Missing deadlines or absolutely forgetting about certain tasks will be unavoidable. To combat this, create a to-do list.
