Beyond the clutter

Carefully remove yourself from and dismantle the clutter in your life. Create more space to think clearly, to act effectively, to dream, to envision, to be.

Over time, clutter creeps into your thinking, your environment, your relationships, your work. Devote some effort to keep it at bay, and seek to eventually tame it entirely.

Clutter is the enemy of intention. It transforms clarity into muddy ambiguity.

Imagine a long stretch of time with no distractions or interruptions, focused on what matters, what enlivens, what fulfills. Get beyond the clutter, and that’s what you can experience.

Seek to impose purposeful order on your thoughts, your surroundings, your pursuits and pleasures. Intensify the richness of your experience by discarding the clutter that weighs you down.

Even a little bit less clutter can make a noticeable improvement. The further you go beyond the clutter, the better life will be.
