It could be anything from your desk, to your bathroom, to the hamper of clean clothes that haven\u2019t been folded in months. In the time it takes to do this activity, find a way to \u201cde-clutter\u201d your mind. Some people find meditation apps are helpful, while others (like me) listen to true crime podcasts. Whatever gives your mind a break. Good luck!!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-weight: normal\">P.S.
