Does your home feel crammed with possessions? Does your life feel overstuffed with obligations? Perhaps you need to begin the process of decluttering your life.
It’s easy to accumulate stuff. The pair of jeans that hasn’t fit since before baby number two. The bridesmaid dress you hate but paid “good money” for. The bread machine you never use. The yarn you bought but didn’t have time to knit. The toys your children no longer play with.
Of course, that’s just the stuff clogging your cupboards and closets. A lot more stuff probably clutters your life. Countless meetings and appointments, oodles of kids’ baseball practices and dance recitals fill up your calendar and crowd out your peace. Even your mind and soul may seem cluttered. Disappointment, bitterness, and perfectionism can easily take up the space in our hearts that is meant for God’s grace, love, and joy.
Do you want to make a change? Do you desire to declutter your home and experience the joy of less? Do you long for a streamlined schedule that has more room for the important things of life? Do you want to empty your mind and heart of the fears and anxieties?
Perhaps that seems impossible. But we can make a start. I have a free tool for you to help you begin the process of decluttering your life. My free workbook Finding Enough: A 7-Day Jump-Start to Decluttering Your Life will guide you in getting rid of the meaningless and unimportant stuff while still keeping what is valuable and beneficial to your life.
The process is based on Ecclesiastes 3:1,6:
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven . . . a time to keep, and a time to cast away.
Using this workbook, you’ll examine one area of your life each day and decide if it is time to keep or time to cast away. So it won’t become too overwhelming you will use a process I call “Keep 10 Toss 10”–you will only decide on ten things that are valuable enough to keep and ten things that need to go. I won’t tell you what to hold on to or what to toss—that’s up to you.
Over the course of seven days, you will take a journey to cast out whatever clutters your closets, schedules, and mind. Some of the days, you will tackle a practical area of life like your home or schedule. Other days, we’ll delve into the cupboards of your soul to see if anything harmful or unnecessary is stored there. Most of us have been amassing more and more for years or decades. Our culture tells us that we need more stuff, more goals, more activity to complete our happiness—and we’ve bought into this idea. But many of you have recognized this for the lie it is. And that’s why you’re here. You are ready to find enough.
