Where can you reduce clutter in your life?

Clutter is conditional. Whenever I start a project, I have to clean up first. My desk needs to be cleared, the workshop needs to be swept, or the classroom needs to be reorganized. By the end of the project, things will be a mess. There will be shit everywhere.

The accumulation of things, parts, pieces, stuff, is the process. When creating something, you need to bring things together, pull them apart, and transform them to fit your vision. The failed attempts get tossed aside, the potentials sit slightly closer, and the ones you’re currently creating are in your hands. That noise is what allows you to innovate.

Reducing clutter is about creating a beginning, ensuring that you have a canvas fit for painting. When it becomes purposeful, the clutter is your creation.
