When you think about clutter you’ll probably consider the idea of items that are out of place, that block the way, that need to be taken care of. Of course, there is also mental clutter: beliefs that hold you back, that make you wonder about the right path forward, long-held convictions that may or may not serve you, and of course, self-doubt.

Either way, those things may all be important elements in your quest to let go of things that don’t serve you anymore. However, this whole consideration does not take one thing into account: the fact that kinds some clutter are more permanent than others, some are temporary, some only show up in particular situations, etc.

How much of your day is dedicated to yourself? If you are like me, you’ll always find way to keep yourself busy. That is especially true in times of Covid: we are not able to go meet friends as we would normally do, and it’s easier to stay active doing all kinds of things than facing the thought of not being allowed to do certain things.

Speaking for myself, I have been pretty much isolating for the last 12 months now. I have only really met friends for a socially distanced cup of coffee maybe 20 times, if not less. I live on my own and am lucky that I have a bright apartment with lots of light and a bit of a view to keep me sane.
