While trimming some plants in my yard this morning, I couldn't help but stop, now and then, to marvel at all the little green shoots, soon to be flowers, pushing up through the damp soil in my garden. I began to wonder: How does a flower know when it's time to reveal itself, to come out of its burrow? And how can one tiny flower hold the knowledge that tells it when to bud and to blossom, and when to rest and regroup? What else could this flower know, and what might she have to teach us about our own lives? I decided to ask her, and this is what she told me.

What can I, a simple spring flower, possibly have to say about organizing? More than you might think! Here are some of the things I have learned:

Stand tall so that the sunlight can reach you. Sometimes, though, a little bit of rain can be a wonderful thing. You need both sunlight and hydration to be at your most beautiful and healthy. Keep in mind also that the right kind of nutrients are important, so eat healthfully and make sure you are getting your vitamins, preferably directly from your food. Watch your posture...standing tall does great things for your confidence. Be bold and express your beauty in this world.

Learn to listen to your own body, to learn your own biological rhythms. I rise when the sun does, show off like crazy all day, and begin to think about rest when the light begins to fade. I sleep soundly when the sun goes down in anticipation of shining once again tomorrow.

Just as too many weeds in my garden inhibit my ability to thrive, too much clutter in your life can be harmful to your growth. You need room to expand and grow, which you can't do if you are crowded by things that don't benefit you. Don't stifle yourself with clutter. I do much better when the weeds are pulled from around me, and so will you.

Honor your roots. While it is good to let go of things that don't serve you, keep just enough of your photos and mementos to remind you of all of those who have come before you...people and events that have made your life possible in this moment. Perhaps like me, you can carry many memories inside you, so you're not burdened with an excess of mementos in your garden, so to speak.

Graciously accept help from others. No flower, and no human, can do everything all by herself. You may have heard that those who give, receive. This is true for all of us. When the honeybee lands on me and then flies to other flowers, she helps to ensure that flowers keep blooming forever. And the bee? I give her the ingredients so that she can go back to her hive and make honey. We all need help from the insects, the birds, gardeners and nurturing friends and family to create an ecosystem in which we can live, flourish, and help make the world more beautiful.

All people have clutter to some degree.

You may have a little bit of clutter sitting around--things that aren't really serving any purpose, taking up unnecessary space, gathering dust, and causing a bit of frustration.

Or perhaps you have LOADS of clutter and it's causing your life to be turned upside down--you can't find things easily, you feel like your home is bursting at the seams with STUFF, you have to climb over piles and boxes to get to anything, and you feel overwhelmed and frustrated.

MOST people are somewhere right in the middle of these two situations.

For anyone who just has a little bit of clutter, have no doubt in your mind that CLUTTER GROWS, and small challenges soon turn into large issues.

BUT, here's something NEW I discovered...

Clutter is sneaky...it doesn't only show up in the pile of shoes you may have in your closet, the overload of toys in the toy room, the boxes of stuff in the basement, or the stuffed-to-the-max drawers and closets in your home.

Clutter actually invades your life in FOUR forms...

1. Physical Clutter
2. Paper Clutter
3. Digital Clutter
4. Emotional Clutter

And once it's there, it begins to wreak all sorts of havoc...

getorganizednow.com

1) See clutter for what it really is. Clutter comes in many forms, but really lands under one main header: OBSTACLE.

Clutter is an obstacle to us finding things.

Clutter is an obstacle preventing us from getting our TO DOs done.

Clutter is an obstacle keeping us out of reach of our goals and dreams.

Clutter is an obstacle to good health, affecting us both physically and emotionally.

Clutter is an obstacle to happiness. One can not be truly happy with stress. Clutter (physical, paper, digital, and emotional) multiplies stress exponentially.

Clutter is an obstacle that must be removed from our lives, in order for us to get anywhere worth going.

For the next full week, I'll be focusing on helping you get rid of clutter in your life...bit by bit. Every day this week, we'll focus on a form of clutter and removing that obstacle from your life. Stay tuned!

2) Consolidate one category of items in your garage. A big part of organizing is ensuring you don't have one category of items in many different places. This week, consolidate a category of items in your garage, such as all automotive gear (car wax, motor oil, microfiber towels, interior cleaner, car vacuum), all sporting equipment (baseballs, soccer balls, bats, mitts, bike helmets) or all gardening gear (rakes, gardening gloves, bush trimmers, safety glasses, weeding tools).

3) Stow spring and allow summer to emerge. Put away all spring decor and get your summer decorations out and on display. I love the 'patriotic' look for this time of year...reds, whites, and blues leading up to the 4th of July.

'I must have flowers, always, and always.'
--Claude Monet
