Dear Reader,
Sorry for my lack of activity in the last 2 weeks. As my previous post may have implied, I have a lot on my plate and I need time to put my house in order. Rest assured that both the quantity and the quality of my posts will continue to increase. I haven’t even hit my stride yet.
Stay with me, and you won’t be disappointed.
Love
A. T. Bui

To some extent, the state of your house reflects the state of your mind. When your mind is in turmoil, you will be more likely to leave dishes unwashed, your bedroom strewn with dirty clothes, and unfinished paperwork scattered about. The hidden benefit of this relationship is that it also works in reverse. Clearing up environmental clutter helps to clear up mental clutter.
The reason is, whether you intend it or not, your mind creates and maintains a checklist of all the things that need to be done. This puts strain on your reticular formation (the part of your brain that makes you aware of things that are relevant), which diverts precious energy that you could utilize for more important matters. As you simplify and bring order to your surroundings, your brain will spontaneously erase those items from your mental checklist.
