Why Listen? In my journal practice, I write down what I call “heart taps”, which are the things that speak directly to my heart. Here are a few of the heart tap moments that I wrote down from this interview: 

  1. Make sure to pause long enough to hear the whisper of your heart, which will tell you what is next. 
  2. Three rules to getting and staying organized: 1: One home for everything 2: Like with like 3: Something in something out.
  3. The average adult tells 200 lies a day. Like: l’ll do this later. 
  4. Clutter is nothing more than deferred decisions.
  5. Average person will waste a year of their life looking for lost items. 
  6. Time is a non renewable resource. 
  7. Clutter is the symptom not the problem.
  8. There are 8 deadly time thieves: Interruptions, Overcommitting, Poor planning, Multitasking, Meetings, Email, Social media, and Procrastination
