"Space management
is even more important than time management", said
Thomas Leonard, founder of the coaching profession.
During the holidays, I turned on the TV and saw
Oprah talk to an amazing woman by the name of Julie
Morgenstern. Julie had written a New York Times a
bestseller entitled "Organising from the Inside
Out". She talked about managing and organising your
space so that your space reflects your values and
your goals. What Julie said went far beyond clearing
out the clutter and the old rule of "when in doubt,
throw it out".
She explained how clutter occurs on three levels:
At level 1: the problem is technical and can be
changed with education,
At level 2: the problem is due to external realities
that can't be changed, therefore acceptance is needed to
move forward,
At level 3: the problem is due to psychological
obstacles that can be resolved through awareness.
This approach has a close affinity with the All
Money Matters philosophy.
It's not that I don't believe in coincidences, but
the next week was filled with books, magazine
articles and people, all telling me about the
amazing power of managing my space.
The
common theme from these sources was how much more relaxed,
productive, successful and abundant we become when we manage our space.
I find when I have been managing
my space and clearing the clutter, I am
more productive & relaxed. What I am most excited
about is the increase in clarity that I now have (and am
continuing to have) around my goals and what I really want.
So how about clearing any clutter from the inside
out! You may well find your finances 'clear
up' too! Let us know how you go! We always
love to hear about your experiences.
