Decluttering and being productive go hand in hand. Here is an interesting post from Lori Morero from clutterdiet.com on being productive.
What's your typical day like? Being stuck in a reactive, race from fire-to-fire, mode is a sure sign that you are making at least one of the three most common productivity-killing mistakes:
Confusing a laundry list with a to-do list. A laundry list is a running tab of all the things that you would like to get done. A to-do list should only comprise those 4-5 tasks per day that are truly important.
Missing opportunities to batch similar tasks. Tackling related tasks, such as calls and errands in one whack is the most efficient way from Point A to Point B.
Failing to Look Ahead. Sooner or later, those important but not urgent things you keep neglecting will demand your attention-- and wreak havoc on your schedule.
Look at your lists. Are they set up for productivity? Are you planning ahead? Now is a good time to begin planning for Christmas, actually. Are you having guests in a month? Begin planning now for their arrival (cleaning, decluttering, cooking ahead, etc.) A little done a day at a time saves a lot of craziness when the event is near.
