The one problem with any big project, especially something like de-cluttering, is that it can seem daunting and many people are loath to even start it because they feel they will never finish. Next actions go some way to resolving this, but it can sometimes feel like you are only tip-toeing around your work and not really moving forward. I’ve struggled with this on many occasions. I’d clean under my bed then look at the rest of the room and have to resist the urge to just dive in and do the rest of the room, usually with no clear plan in mind. However, to counter this hold onto the thought that little steps create the biggest results. It might not seem obvious during the first few days of your work but what makes this approach effective is that it’s so much easier to consistently focus on it. If you want to put a lot of work into something regularly you will fall apart at some point as the demands on your time and energy put their demands on you. Doing the occasional large bout of work is not as effective as taking regular, small steps, especially if you want to be consistent. Try not to focus on the results of your efforts for a couple of weeks and then look back at what you’ve achieved. You will be surprised by how much you’ve got done.
