Abundant Life Advent Challenge: Day 24
Hello fellow challengers, we've made it to Day 24 of our Abundant Life Advent Challenge, and today's mission is all about conquering the paper clutter in our lives. Let's embark on a paper purge extravaganza and create space for a clutter-free start to the upcoming year. You may be thinking to yourself, it’s Christmas Eve, lady, I’m not cleaning anything. But don’t dismiss the time you’ll have while things are baking or boiling. You’ll be amazed at how much you can get done while you’re waiting for a timer to go off. Use that time for the 24-piece paper dash:
Speedy Paper Hunt: Begin by heading to your stack of papers, whether it's on your desk, kitchen counter, or tucked away in that drawer we all have.
Quick Decision Zone: As you touch each piece, make a swift decision—toss, file, or keep. No second-guessing allowed!
Toss it Like You Mean it: Bid farewell to unnecessary papers with a confident toss into the recycling bin. Free yourself from the paper weight! Pun intended!
Create a "To-Be-Filed" Haven: For papers that deserve a designated spot, create a to-be-filed pile or folder. Let's usher in a sense of organization!
Why the Paper Purge?
Clear Mental Clutter: A clutter-free space equals a clutter-free mind. Tossing unnecessary papers can do wonders for your mental well-being.
Prepare for a Fresh Start: As we approach the end of the challenge, let's clear the slate for a fresh start in the new year. Make room for new opportunities!
Simplify Your Space: A simplified living space fosters a sense of calm. Let's make our homes serene sanctuaries by bidding adieu to paper excess.
Quick Tips for Success:
Set a Timer: Give yourself a time limit. This isn't an all-day affair—let's keep it quick and effective.
One-Touch Rule: Embrace the one-touch rule. Once you touch a piece of paper, make a decision immediately.
Uncover Hidden Gems: Amidst the paper chaos, you might rediscover forgotten treasures or important documents. Bonus points for finding hidden gems!
As we bid adieu to unnecessary papers, we're not just decluttering our physical space but also making room for a more abundant and organized life. And more importantly, we are making room for Jesus.
