There is a way to synchronize the Mac Mail and server, Beverley, so that emails once deleted are truly deleted. You might want to check with your service provider on how to do it.

Reassessing what is important for us also helps to let go of clutter whether internal or external. Looks like you are on track for success!

I’m looking forward to having you join us at the teleseminar this Sunday, Kimberly. There will be a replay so all is good!

We all have our own way of dealing with work, Delia. It seems yours is to know the job is done when the desk is spotlessly clean and clear. 🙂

Looks like you are trying to achieve a lot of goals in 1 go, Lisa. A cluttered desk is a sure sign of multi-tasking and the related stress when nothing gets finished. Reorganizing and a spot of filing will make a difference.

Great post!

So lucky I cleaned it up before reading this post so now I have something to brag about!

But seriously how is it that every couple months my desk is super clean and shiny and then I manage to add up tons of things? Let’s see: I have paperwork that needs be dealt with, you know – lists, stuff for kids from school, then cosmetics, books etc.

I feel such relief when I clean them up!

I find this in my work with people in their homes… clutter and chaos is a symptom of something else, and they feel so much clearer and happier when they are able to do what they need to do to get rid of things that aren’t serving them! Decluttering also helps them not get into the same situation again down the road… I want to try to hear your teleseminar!

Talk about overwhelm and clutter in my “inbox”, so I immediately set out to delete 20,000 of them and took steps to make sure all emails are deleted after 30 days. I do feel that the online world brings a ridiculous amount of new “clutter” into my life and lately have been feeling the desire to withdraw and spend energies in the “real” world.

I’m also in a one-year miracles program, and March happens to be themed “letting go”, so I have been doing a simple exercise that brings wonderful results. For 9 days in a row, we are asked to give, throw or sell 27 items, to declutter and let go of things no longer needed. My daughter and I went on a decluttering tear through the house and it felt amazing. Still lots to go, but I have also been letting go of internal clutter and managing a flu bug I got right after my mother’s 100th birthday party last weekend. A perfect time to kick back and reassess what is and what isn’t important to me as I move forward. Thanks for the timely post, Vatsala.

Wise decision, Tamuria. It takes time to break bad habits but where there is a will, there is a way. Keep at it!

We’ve all been there, Roslyn and had our wakeup call that we were collecting things and not actually using them. I do sign up for some free things and pay for some but not immediately. I prefer to think it through and put a night’s sleep between the decision and my wallet. It works well.
