Parting with Stress-Inducing Clutter at Home and in the Office

Being in a cluttered environment can cause stress because you’ll have a hard time finding certain items and keeping your things organized.

Sometimes, to reduce stress caused by clutter, you have to get rid of some things or store them in an area where you won’t be constantly exposed to it. 
 
Start by removing or storing away old papers and projects that you don’t need anymore for work.

Most of the time, you can forget to go through your papers on your desk, without realizing how much space they take up.

By doing this, you’re reducing the amount of stuff you have piling up in your workspace.

If you work on your computer, you most likely have tons of documents saved. Get rid of the old ones you don’t need anymore by deleting them or moving them to a thumb drive.

Having too many items on your computer will use up your memory space and slow down your computer significantly, making it more stressful and time consuming trying to work on it if nothing will load. 

However, once you delete something completely off of your computer, it’s extremely difficult and sometimes impossible to get it back.

Before you get rid of tons of documents, make sure you definitely don’t need them anymore.
 
Keep clutter out of your home as well. Your home is supposed to be the place where you relax, and having a cluttered environment in every room is definitely not stress relieving.

You might have to put shelves in your rooms to organize your items and keep them separate.

You could also utilize any closet space you have by storing things in there to keep clutter out of sight, or you could just get rid of unnecessary things to maintain a tidy living space. 
 
One good way to get rid of clutter from your home is to donate it to an organization like Goodwill or a homeless shelter.

You can donate things like old gadgets you don’t use anymore, old clothes, shoes, or toys that your kids may have outgrown.

Not only is it a way to get rid of clutter around your house, but it’s going to make you feel better knowing that someone less fortunate is getting to use things that you don’t need anymore.
 
Getting rid of unnecessary items in your life is a great way to maintain an organized, stress free lifestyle.

You can make sure your spaces stay uncluttered by getting rid of items as soon as it becomes obvious you don’t need them.

Stop Letting Your Vacation Time Roll Over

When you have a time consuming job, sometimes it seems impossible to even begin to think about being able to take a vacation.

However, taking down time from work and making sure you use up your vacation time when you can is immensely important for your wellbeing and stress levels. 
 
You can use your vacation days to travel to somewhere in the world that you’ve always wanted to go.

Work is an often stressful and dreary setting, especially if it’s taking up most of the hours in your day.

Going somewhere exciting will lift your spirits by exposing you to new adventures, taking your mind completely off of work.

This will undoubtedly reduce your stress levels, especially if you’re relaxed and having fun.
 
Vacation days don’t have to be used strictly for an actual vacation, though. You can use your time off to simply have a few days of self-care.

Divide your days and devote them to different things like going shopping, going out with friends, going to the spa, and other things you might enjoy.

By doing this, you’re eliminating stress that you might have had about your relationships and your health. 

You could also use these days to focus on spending time with your family.

Maybe you feel like you haven’t been spending enough time with your family due to your job, because of how much time it takes away from being able to be with them.

You can use your time off to spend time with them and just be around them more often than you usually are. 
 
This is especially good because your family might feel like they’re missing out on you being in their life.

Using your vacation time with them proves to them that they’re important to you.

Also, if you go too long without spending time with them by procrastinating on taking your vacation, your kids will grow up so fast that someday the realization that you let time fly without spending much time with them will hit you hard.
 
Using up your vacation time is crucial to maintaining your happiness.

Being constantly engulfed in work isn’t a happy way to live, especially if you’re neglecting your health by letting stress overwhelm you.

By using your vacation to work on improving your personal satisfaction and your family’s happiness, you can make sure that you return to work less stressed than before, making you more productive and resetting your state of mind overall.
