Ken, these are all great ways to de-clutter your mind and your life.
I like the one about de-committing which we sometimes don’t think of doing.

Ken, I especially liked your last point. I think when we look for beauty in things, we miss the point. Beauty is found ultimately in life itself. =)

Great post! I especially liked the de-commit piece, as that’s something I’m currently struggling with.

I can’t agree more about life purpose. I checked your previous article on finding passion, too, and think your approach is very solid. We, each one of us, came here for a purpose. There is a general purpose for all souls, which is to experience this physical world, but each person also has a special unique purpose, and realizing this purpose make all the difference in the quality of life.
I have so much to say about this topic than I can contain in this comment, so let me just thank you for sharing your great thoughts. Be sure to let me know when I do the round-up on this topic (it’s the main topic of my blog) again.

This is good stuff. And I’m with Charlie in that I really think the de-commit part is very important. Often you have to de-commit before you can find your life purpose, because you have to clear the crap to see the forest for the trees. Or something like that.

Great article Ken! All astute points.
Personally I always feel 10lbs lighter walking into my office and knowing the first 10 minutes wont be spent wondering where my desk went. That in an of itself can lead to procrastination for some people.

Great post!
Today the De-commit thing has really hit me….even before I read the post….Coincidence?
Now I guess I must decide how to let go…
Guess I’ll go enjoy this beautiful spring day and consider it!!
Thanks, for the thought promptings

Funny,such great time of your article as I have been working with a lot of clients this week on the concept of de-commit. The more our schedules are filled with agenda items that drain us the less room there is for the ones that energize and satisfy us!
