The problem with our lives that everything (including our mind) is so complicated and full of twists - we are bombarded with so much of information that we don't use even 10% of it. We have so much to think - remember - be afraid of...... that we cant focus on the right things.... so what do we do????
1. Collect everything in one place.
2. Choose the essential.
3. Eliminate the rest.
4. Organize the remaining stuff neatly and nicely.
4. Organize. Put back the essential things, neatly, with space around things. Clean the drawer out first, of course, and put the very small pile of things you chose back in the drawer, grouping like things together and leaving space around the groups. Having space around things makes everything look neater and simpler.
That’s it!!!
Here are some examples of how you could apply the above method to other areas of your life:

Friends - We need to simplify our lives.
It’s been nearly a decade since I first started trying to simplify my life, and in those years I’ve struggled with clutter, I’ve had surges and ebbs of complications and simplicity, I’ve tried dozens of methods of simplifying from as many sources. It’s been an interesting journey, and i am yet to travel 75%. If you’re looking to simplify a certain aspect of your life, you don’t want to go through that kind of confusion, start with below 4 ways to instantly simplify your lives:
1. Collect everything in one place.
2. Choose the essential.
3. Eliminate the rest.
4. Organize the remaining stuff neatly and nicely.
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.
1. Collect. Take out everything and put it in a pile. Empty the entire drawer, and pile it all on a counter or a table. Take everything out, down to the last paper clip.
2. Choose. Pick out only the few things you love and use and that are important to you. Be very selective. Put the important stuff you pick out into a separate, smaller pile.
3. Eliminate. Toss the rest out. You know you’ll never need those manuals again. Don’t be sentimental with this step.

This simple method can be applied to every area of your life.
My suggestion is to focus on one area at a time, apply the method, and then move to the next area.
Here are some examples of how you could apply the above method to other areas of your life:
Closets.
Your desk.
Your work tasks.
Your commitments.
Your wardrobe.
A room.
Your email inbox.
Your thoughts
Your relationships
Your education.....
As you simplify your life, the whole universe around you will become much simpler.
