It is generally understood that it takes 21 consecutive days… a mere 3 weeks…. to establish a habit. So, start with a small "bad habit" and see how long it takes you to change it to a good habit. Do you lose your keys all the time? Try, for 21 days in a row - of putting them in one place every day. A hook, a bowl or just pound a nail in the wall and every day for 3 weeks take a moment to put your keys there.
Do you end up with piles of mail so daunting you continue to procrastinate opening it up? Well, try to start that habit. No matter how busy you are, open your mail every day. Stand over a recycle bin when you do it. Toss freely into recycle because 80% of your mail is someone trying to sell you something. Just for 21 days. After that, you might find it's not an effort any more and you have a nice neat pile of bills to pay, stuff to read and a healthy fat recycle bin.
21 days to liberation of a bad habit into a good habit that serves you. You so very much deserve the great results.
Let me know how it goes!

I believe in matter and energy. That everything, all of us and everything around us, is some form of matter and energy, spinning together, evolving and all connected. I feel myself grounded when I touch a tree. A tree, that is more matter than energy, but plenty of energy. Eating of the soil upon which it’s rooted, drinking up the sun from its’ green energetic leaves. And around you now. Matter and energy. For example, the chair you sit on - or couch, seat, bed, insert your matter source for sitting here - is matter mostly, yet within it the energy of every warm, soft, sexy behind it has supported before yours, and the energy of the trees and the plants from which it was formed. From this same spinning planet. This simple chair, supporting you, with joy. Because you have given purpose for all the matter and energy that went into it’s creation.
So how is clutter supporting you in your life? How is matter and energy working in that case? Indeed, it is not. When you consider your own clutter challenges, consider this. That pile of paper wants a purpose. Those piles and boxes full of who knows what are not serving anyone. So get busy making decisions on you stuff. Is it active and serving you in your life? If it isn't, get it out of your space and back into this spinning planet to serve someone else. Or to be recycled. It's good for you. And it's good for the planet.
Turn matter - your clutter and disorder - into energy - where everything is in it's place waiting to serve you.
