As a result, we cannot do the things we value the most. “We have to remove the clutter.”Ĭlutter is all the stuff that gets in the way of living a happy life. But, no matter how hard we, it’s impossible for us to do it all. “ When we’re feeling especially productive and superhuman, we struggle to admit this reality,” he adds. “We have unlimited options but limited resources.” As such, some decisions must be made to eliminate certain things. “We can only do so much,” Mike Burns writes over Becoming Minimalist. Acknowledge the fact that you can’t do everything. So, here are some of the best ways to declutter your brain by decluttering your Calendar. Of course, that may sound easier said than done. While you’re on the right track here by conducting a brain dump, you also need to declutter your Calendar so that you’ll be healthier, happier, and more productive. And even worse, this leads to unnecessary stress. That makes it impossible to focus on your priorities. What happens next? Not only is your brain cluttered, so is your Calendar. Eventually, you use this to generate an extensive to-do list that will clutter your Calendar. So, you do the right thing and get these thoughts out of your head and onto paper. You can feel overwhelmed when you have so much on your mind.
