Decluttering: things, words, life

Declutter whatever you can to get space for what you enjoy

How many times have you heard of memo notes, sticky notes, memory cards? You know, those small pieces of paper with new words in a foreign language that you are supposed to put on every single object around your house in order (or rather in the hope) to memorize.
As well as of all the things hung on your notice board to remember to do things that you need to do today, this week, this month?
Does your place remind you of a pile of unorganized stuff? Including both objects themselves and words describing them. It's time to declutter!
Move things online. I mean it! Whatever you can! 

First step: things. Have you got a notice board full of tasks, reminders, to-do-lists? Use Google Keep or any other tool to help you organize stuff and get rid of paper, pins and rubbish in the place where you live.


Next step: words. Use Quizlet or any other app that allows you to organize words in groups, match them to pictures or equivalents, synonyms, ecc, practice and - finally - memorize them!

Final step: freedom. Choose to do just the essential things during the day. Do what you really enjoy doing (and if you think, "Sounds good, but I have to work, study, whatever" - change what you are currently doing and choose the activity you really love!) and you'll be surprised how much you can do, head for, and achieve.
So, this is what I am going to do NOW (and I am not putting it on a to-do-list): declutter, feel free, and enjoy!
