This Monday, take 10 minutes and clear out 10 items that bug you. In the wastebasket. Water it or trash it. In a quick 10 minutes, sweep through your home or office and clean out, throw out, put away or fix 10 small annoyances and make your environment a cleaner, healthier place. You deserve the best.
Tolerations are slightly different than clutter, although they over-lap.
Tolerations are things like putting up with a dirty carpet, a car that needs repairs, or a favorite shirt you can't wear because it's missing a button. Choose 10 items, list them, and make commitments to get them fixed or replaced. You may not resolve them on Tuesday, but in 10 minutes take steps so you never have to tolerate these 10 items again. Clutter and Tolerations undermine our enthusiasm, waste our time, they create doubt and they discourage us. If your life is stressed and hectic, my bet is that you're running errands and doing things you don't need to do.
