Remember, everything you have in your piece of the universe requires your time, money and attention. All the possessions and people require a piece of you. Stuff has to be used, stored, cleaned, and repaired. People (and pets), will also take a bite out of your life, so make sure you include the ones that you love to love. Distance yourself as much as possible from those who take more than they contribute to your desired lifestyle. Do you love this new sweater enough to take time to hand wash or bear the expense to dry clean it? Will you really USE this book or program? Do you WANT to “spend” your time and energy to be with someone?

My mother once said that anything you got once you could get again. The things that are irreplaceable are few and far between, so be bold and clear your space!Step away from the fear of scarcity and lack. Step toward faith in the abundance of the Universe. No doubt your life, home and office will always be full. Just make sure you are in charge of filing it with what matters and helps you achieve your dreams.

One thing that is contributing to our over stuffed feeling is the increased amount of available space. Chances are your home is significantly larger than the one you grew up in.

I can’t help but notice that in my own community where 2 and 3 car garages are the norm, many families are parking on the street. I was somewhat bewildered until I got a glimpse into a few garages. They are FULL! No wonder self storage places are cropping up like weeds!

The only way to tame this tiger is to set up a limited amount of space for various categories. Now pinky swear with yourself to limit your collections into what will fit into that designated area.

Pick your best, favorite and most currently useful (note those last two words!) stuff and make the others disappear. Just because you spent your valuable money to buy books, courses, magazines and tools doesn’t mean they have to live with you forever physically. Release them and let others benefit. Take the magazines you have read (or aren’t getting around to reading) and drop them at your hair dresser, doctor, dentist, or gym. You can even put a label “Compliments of (your business)” so you are promoting your business and tax deducting the cost of the publication!

Ok, I get it that we creative types like stuff. It is stimulating…to a point. But what can you do to stay creative and not be buried alive in your own brilliance? Here is the first step to consider if you are ready to make some change.

Create time to “flush”. Yep, you heard me. You’ll need a systematic time for consistently clearing things out so you can continue to bring in more “new”. That also means saving time in your life whether it is weekly or quarterly to empty out stuff and have some “empty” time for creativity.

For example, books and magazines. Wouldn’t you rather have piles of CASH than PILES of stuff? Wouldn’t you rather have time for quality living than a rush-rush schedule? As Confucius say, “Less is more!” Less stuff is more income.
