How to Sort Out Mess in Your Life

Our Life is like our mobile headset or our wardrobe or our professional-table or our laptop/desktop – every time you untangle/sort it out/organize it – you need to do it again and then again.

One time decluttering never works – irrespective of how much efforts you take later to maintain it – sooner or later it gets messed-up again.

If you fail to declutter or organize or sort-out the mess that you have on regular basis - you will find yourself overwhelmed with so much clutter and so much backlog that either you would feel like giving-up or may have a temporary breakdown.

Many times, you would experience everything going wrong all at once [like the beautiful and faithful proverb "Trouble never comes alone"] – no matter how diligently you plan.

Life upsets all of us more often than not – to deal with these shocks and disappointments which materializes out of blue in most cases - we should have the resolve and a method, a checklist, a process or ways to start afresh to beat the odds and live-out our life fully – and making our life even larger.

It would very irritating and sound totally useless-hollow-advice [if it is given by anyone to you – which others do all the time] – like I always hear – Calm-down, cool-down, you will get over it, it is not that serious etc. etc.[when you are going through a real shocker].

These processes, methods and mindset – can't happen when you are going through a crises – this has to be developed exactly like the military-way of peacetime practice, preparation and upskilling.

This article is about creating a mindset and methods to handle and practice them in every day daily life so much so that when life shakes you up – you get into this mode naturally after the initial panic phase is over.

When you feel that things are not alright and are experiencing a general unhappiness or restlessness and even feeling frustrated or feeling void [in any/many areas of your life ] – and – especially when you feel things should change, even though you may not realize which ones] - are sure signs that your life is in mess – and that you need to take actions immediately to untangle it – because the more you delay – the more complex, the more overwhelming, the more depressive they are going to get.

Sometimes in life we do lose our way or we stop living to our full potential and we are stuck in the rut of stagnation and don’t seem to be able to make any real progress no matter what we do.

And the life does surely kick our ass time to time by completely stunning us through - Divorce, health issues, loss of loved one, failed business, financial difficulties, loneliness, depression, stress, career and professional rut or any conflict, crises emergencies.

Everyone has their own unique set of problems – but if you see the people who are known as role-models – you will realize that there aren’t many things out there that we can't overcome.
