THERE are three things I don't like waking up to: the honking of jeepneys, the sound of a mocking alarm clock and a sink full of dishes. Since jeepneys are given noisemakers, and an alarm clock has to mock me incessantly to get out of bed, let me talk about clutter. That's something I can avoid waking up to.
Clutter is a really fast way to stress yourself out. Try searching for that proposal stuck in between those piles of documents while your boss stands behind you, tapping her foot impatiently. Uh-oh! Organizing your things can go a long way in helping you avoid unnecessary stress. So one way to de-stress is simply to organize that clutter.
The more clutter there is, the more we are reminded of the things we still have to do. So streamline those things, and you'll feel and think more clearly too.
There is a line that goes "A messy desk is a sign of a creative mind." Perhaps the many sources of inspiration all over your desk can trigger ideas, can push one to be creative. Perhaps. I do believe though that putting everything in its place can help more greatly in having a smoother, cleaner flow of thinking.
Upon coming home from work for example, wouldn't it be so calming if you open the door to an organized living room, instead of one with mismatched shoes and slippers all over? The headache that you thought had disappeared after that long meeting suddenly comes rushing back. Deal with this clutter. A basket by the door can be a home for shoes and slippers. An organized home is very welcoming, especially after a long work day.
Piles of paper on your desk? Sort your documents, stuff them in the envelopes, label. You can reach for your documents much easily after that.
As for those dishes of mine, wouldn't it be so much better if I wash them and put them back in the dish racks before going to bed? This way I wake up to a squeaky clean kitchen with a big smile instead of a furrowed brow.
Organize your things and do less with stress that all that clutter brings. It's easier than it sounds. Get on it!

Thanks for this great tips! I appreciate this topic.
I learned this from my aunt who lives in Michigan. When her mail comes, she immediately sorts out the things she needs, recycle the things she doesn't. I've been doing the same since 2003. Those ads that come with the mail do add up. The only problem is how to recycle those things and toothpaste and soap cartons too, etc.
also, decluttering also helps, simplify your life. Less clutter that way, less organizing to do. hehehehe
I agree. Being always organized helps me doing a lot of things and at the same time relaxed.
Great information, thanks for sharing. It really helped me!

True, I can't tell how many times I have felt myself stuck if there are just too many documents on my desk un-organized...waiting for my attention. We all can't de-clutter our work everytime because for that we need to put in some time to remove clutter...and time is the biggest obstacle at work, we need to do things quick in short time. But every week, one should take out 1-2 hours out and go through all your messy work desk and de-clutter them so when you come on next Monday, you feel all happy about your last week's performance.

"A messy desk is a sign of a creative mind." - I agree with this line. But I'm pretty sure they forgot to include stress in that equation.

Getting rid of clutter often means asking yourself some honest questions like, "Where in my life do I have clutter?" Because, as you've probably noticed, it's difficult to relax or meditate even 1 minute if your environment is cluttered.
