Here are a few ways to help you de-clutter your life:

• De-clutter your computer by getting rid of files and programs that you don't need. These not only slow down your computer but they also create visual clutter.
• Clean your room and your closets. Organize everything you've decided to keep into cabinets and drawers, all neatly arranged and out of sight. Donate the clothes that you don't use.
• Reconsider your routine. Tackle obligations and chores and develop structure. It's helpful to write down your weekly and daily obligations and plan out what you have to do daily and weekly.
• Set aside time each day or week to write down your goals for the day, week, month and the year and include action items on each goal.
