Let me share with you the five core beliefs that limited my organizing skills and the five truths that freed me.
1. I have to keep everything.
If you are anything like I use to be, you have a difficult time throwing anything in the garbage. Your inbox probably has hundreds of email stored in it just in case you need some information from them in the future, you have a closet full of boxes full of papers, and you have filing cabinets where you probably waste more time looking for specific items than finding them.
You never know when you might need it, right?
The core belief that you must keep everything “just in case” is responsible for all that clutters and is a major cause of disorganization in your life.
Here are some facts for all of you collectors:
On average, an organized individual or company throws away around 50% of their stored information without consequence.
Most people use only 15% of what they file. By clarifying what is usable and letting go of the rest you can reduce your filing and save precious time and energy for more important tasks. It takes great courage to let go of past information.
Reality: You do not have to keep everything. And by getting rid of what you don’t need you will feel less burdened and free, you will have more time to do what matters, and you will be able to find the information you do need when you need it.
