[…] A great post for those of us who haven’t got enough time in the day to check our email and that dreaded burn out. Thank you to Orly Konig-Lopez for it from Writers in the Storm. […]

Fantastic post Orly and a great reminder. I'm totally going to spend some email declutter time.

I, too, have started decluttering my office today (and started doing Morning Pages three days ago). There must be something in the air. If my desk is cluttered, so is my mind (or maybe it's the other way around). Anyway, once the desk is clear again and the office set up the way I want it, I know my mind will sigh in relief and begin functioning again. (I hope!)

Okay, hate me. I'm incapable of working if stuff is a mess, so I have very little clutter. I'm organized. If I haven't needed it in a year, I don't need it (and yes, I've had to go rebuy stuff from time to time, but not as often as you'd think). If it makes you feel any better, I married the Chaos of the Universe. When we moved this year, I had to pry the old college texts (from 1972) out of his hands. Sigh.

In reply to Orly Konig-Lopez. Limited storage space has taught me that I don't really need every gadget, every book, etc on the planet. I'm definitely becoming a minimalist.

In reply to Brianna Soloski. Good for you, Brianna! I wish I could be that strong. :-)

In reply to Orly Konig-Lopez. Big closets do have a way of filling up. And as a side note, my day of decluttering continues with the aid of a few new apps to help delete old files from my filled-up iMac. Not the most creative way to spend the day, but encouraging for tomorrow's output!

In reply to Orly Konig-Lopez. Hee. How 'bout I try it and let you know how it goes. ;) I have to get up that early anyway to write--I'm hoping this will be a good way to clear my head so I'm actually productive while I have the chance. Again, I'll let you know. Consistency ain't this writer's strong suit.

Great post, Orly. I need to start by clearing out the garage so I have room for the stuff I'll carry out of the house. 😀

I'm in de-cluttering mode, too. Marie Kondo is all over the place with her de-cluttering techniques and organization tips. If it's not absolutely vital to my life, out it goes, physically or electronically.
