Spring Cleaning Your Mental Clutter

Can I confess something to you?

I have a tendency to clutter things up. My office, my desk, my phone, my email inbox.

But it has been several weeks now since Spring has officially arrived, with sunny days interrupted by occasional rainstorms. Flowers are in full bloom and trees have filled out their foliage to provide some shade for summer.

It's a symbol of rebirth and new growth, and a fresh time to take a look at your life and world.

It is also the time for spring cleaning, decluttering the household and giving the home a once-over deep clean. But it can also be a great time for spring cleaning your digital and mental life as well, getting rid of all of the mental baggage and clutter that have piled up over the past year.

So how do you (and I) take some time to walk through and cut all of the clutter and junk out of your life and breathe freely for a while? I've talked a little about getting rid of weeds before, but in this post I'll show you in detail how I do it by setting myself some guidelines and rules.
