Take some time today to reflect on those who have lost their life in service to their country. Be grateful they have kept you safe

Terrie’s Tip – Treat your phone like your life. Most people spend a great deal of their life on their phone and it is an extension of them. So keep it neat and uncluttered. Then do the same for your life. Make one mirror the other.

You’ve heard people laud the idea of an empty email inbox. The same can be applied to your phone’s storage size. How much clutter is on your phone, How much in your life?

I have to spend some time over many days to delete the thousands of pictures on my phone. Do I have do? Not yet but I am probably pretty close to full even though I haven’t checked it lately. I just know it’s time to discard so many of them.
But I’m not going to just randomly delete. I’ve spent the past few days backing them all up to multiple external hard drives so that they aren’t totally lost. They are just out of my “brain”. I don’t need all these photos cluttering up my “brain”.

I’m also going to delete many many many apps – I’m an app junkie. Do I need all these things I’ve tried (just like all the things I’ve tried in my life)? Heck no. But instead of taking action and deleting them when I realize that, i just ignore them and they sit there taking up space. What is taking up space in your life that you can get rid of? Things that were useful once may no longer even be necessary so they don’t need to be on the phone (in your life). If there’s data you don’t want to lose, find out how to keep it if you can.

Beliefs are like our apps – it’s time to re-evaluate your beliefs and see if they are still valid and appropriate for your current life. Many are embedded in childhood and we rarely take stock of our beliefs. We should do periodic reviews and see if they are still what you want in your life.

We have so much clutter on our phone and in our lives and not just in the house.

Take some time to declutter your phone and as you’re doing it think about how you can declutter your life as well.

Remember the fallen today!
