21 Days Declutter Your Life Journaling Challenge

Introduction

Your home should be a place of tranquility, comfort and relaxation. Even when work, school or other commitments are hectic and demanding, you should always be able to seek solace at home. Unfortunately, for many of us, instead of providing refuge, our home environment becomes yet another source of stress.

How you organize your personal space has a significant impact on your productivity, health and well-being. While some people seem blessed by the innate ability to maintain a spotless and orderly home, many of us feel that we are waging a neverending battle against clutter.

When you walk in the front door after a long day, what do you see? A tidy, organized and welcoming space with a place for everything and everything in its place? Or an explosion of clutter, chaos and procrastination? How do you feel when you arrive home? Calm and content, or anxious and dispirited?

If you often feel disorganized, scattered and out of control, this environment probably causes stress and unhappiness in your everyday life. You may want to make a change, clear out the junk and start fresh, but it is daunting to take that first step. How do you tackle years of built-up stuff and old habits? How can you get rid of possessions that hold emotional significance for you? Maybe you’ve tried in the past and fallen short, so you are wary of trying again.

Don’t despair; this time, your journal will support you along the way.

How Journaling Can Help

Unfortunately, your journal can’t actually do the decluttering for you, but it is an invaluable resource when it comes to changing your behavior, letting go of the past and embracing the future.

Taking control of clutter is empowering and beneficial for your mental health and productivity,
