To be successful, Be Organised first

(Note: This first paragraph will be "chim" , read at your own discretion)

As i look into my room, a sense of guilt and negativity shrouds amongst the tempest. Heaps of negativity surronds every single corner of my room, gathering in groups , coming together like storm clouds about a spinning tornado.

Probably guesed it by now - Clutter . Definition: Stuff that collects but does not have a home.

I'll always remember my secondary schoool teacher Mdm Yaw L.T said as quoted " If you want your As, get organised first" . She emphasised and re-emphasised time and again that success in life (and academics) is largely dependent on our ability to organise our life(and our studies).

I am not fit to teach anyone of my readers how to organise their stuff as i realised my whole room is filled with - clutter. Hidden behind closets and stuffed beneath the bed, clutter is everywhere.

I always wondered why the showrooms in IKEA , condos etc are always so nice and attractive (other than the lightings). Its because there is no - clutter.

I am on a journey now to de-clutter my room and i must say it will be a challenging one(its not a problem;) ). Hopefully i can dictate down the progress of my room here and share with all my readers.

Today points to be noted (strategies) :

1) Keep "like" things together

2) Reframe mindset from

"I should keep it I may need it someday..." --->

"If I ever should need it, i'll buy it again (if that someady ever happens)"

Oh...

2) Reframe mindset from

"I should keep it I may need it someday..." --->

"If I ever should need it, i'll buy it again (if that someady ever happens)"

That's me! the 2nd point, but sometimes I find it will be wasteful, so I recently will tend to consider the need before I buy, so that when I "let go", It wouldn't be wasteful
