Clutter vs Clarity
Life‘s daily challenge, clutter vs clarity. We spend days multitasking. Household chores, your inbox keeps growing, kids and the list never seems to end. We know what we should do, and what we should really be working on, yet it’s difficult to focus with all the tasks lurking in the back of our mind.
How do you find the balance? Prioritize, plan your day and unload what you can.
Delegate
Every day chores are a continuous cycle that will always be there to get in your way.

Clean up your to do list, and you will free up your energy to get things done. You can use the Eisenhower matrix to help you.
Eisenhower Matrix
Let’s take a look at how this can help you.
The matrix can be put into four sections. Do, delegate, schedule and delete. Also noting what’s important, not important, urgent and not urgent.
Do tasks that are both urgent and important now. These are necessary to obtain your long-term goals and have consequences if not done. These are at the front of your mind and usually stress you out the most.
Delegate unload tasks that are urgent but not important. Must be completed but don’t affect the long-term goals. You are not needed to personally handle these.
Schedule tasks that are important yet not urgent. They affect your long-term goals, but are not priority.
Delete neither important or urgent. Take them off your list as they simply get in the way of your focus.
This of course, is not the only way to schedule your time. Find a tool that works for you. When clarity wins over clutter, both in home and in mind, goals are met and personal growth thrives.
