Clutter

Clutter accumulates when we’re not looking.  It’s the untidy collection of things, ideas, or thoughts that can weigh us down, if we’re not careful.  Sometimes we don’t even realise it’s all that clutter putting us in a bad mood.

In the same way, clutter can accumulate in a business in the form of documents, procedures, forms and paperwork.  The paper-less offices remains a myth, twenty years after it was predicted.

Clearing away the clutter is cathartic.  Decluttering a room, an inbox, or a busy mind leaves us with additional cognitive space to take something else on, or, even better, relax.
