Thank you for starting this wonderful thread. I have been reading and watching about this topic and others related for quite some time now. I don't know if anyone has mentioned it here yet, but I tried doing a focus wheel (a bunch of stuff written around a central statement) a few months back on one of the biggest most important things to me.

I have to get the hang of this sort of "charting" better, but I do keep a journal and several notebooks for myself where I can at least get things out on paper, which helps a lot since I am such a visual learner/thinker.

And yes, staying de-cluttered has become something vital to me. I keep a drawer where I put paper junk that can be shredded, so that at least if I don't get around to shredding, it has a place to go that is out of sight until I get to it and it gives me relief knowing that I don't have anything extra around that isn't being used or isn't worth keeping.

The key thing made me laugh lol. I always end up with keys to who knows who's house or gate or whatever, and if they aren't keys I use regularly, I totally forget where they came from and have to throw them out, risking that I might throw out one I actually need cause they all look so similar.

I also cleared out some old business cards I have accumulated. Why am I hanging on this stuff?

Old text messages. One person I had over 2,000!!!! Thats crazy. Also went through my contacts and deleted a bunch I don't need. Feels so good!

Also old relationship *stuff *. I still had a few things that I was holding on to..like an old fortune cookie message i found. Time to toss it and open up some space.
