Need More Energy
and Focus
Why Decluttering
Can Help
A study from Princeton Universityrsquos Neuroscience Centre
ldquoInteractions of Top-Down and Bottom-Up Mechanisms in
Human Visual Cortexrdquo found that
ldquoMultiple stimuli present in the visual field at the same time
compete for neural representation by mutually suppressing
their evoked activity throughout visual cortex providing a
neural correlate for the limited processing capacity of the
visual systemrdquo
In other words when your environment is
cluttered the chaos not only restricts your
ability to focus but also limits your brainrsquos
ability to process information Clutter
makes you distracted and unable to
process information as well as you do in an
uncluttered organized and serene
environment
The clutter competes for your attention and
wears down your mental resources
Creating some clear space in your life
your desk your room helps calm stress
and decreases brain overload and
ultimately will impact on your overall
energy
Just pick a cupboarddrawerone space on your desk Set
an alarm on your phone to keep you focused and sticking to
the time it is amazing what you can do when you know you
only have 10 minutes
Your keys the remote your shoes Train yourself to put
those things in the same spot every day that helps cut down
on stress ndash nothing adds to your stress levels when you
canrsquot find the car keyshellip especially if you are running late
already
Create a rotational weekend day once a month to sort out
the garage the storage cupboard or your wardrobe Be
diligent in getting rid of things that you are lsquostoring just in
casersquo Have three pileshellip one to keep one to sell one to
donate Be brutal ndash do you really need to hang on to those
pants you bought five years agohellip and that you lsquomightrsquo fit
back intohellipsomeday
Perhaps a comfortable chair overlooking the garden a
space in the living room or bedroom ndash some where you can
feel a sense of peace ndash to allow time to focus on the peace
and tranquility More time out ultimately leads to more
creativity and productivity
Schedule a Free Strategy Session with me to see if and
how I can help you find the energy you need to achieve all
you want
