Do you waste hours every week looking for important receipts, bills, or other files that were misplaced? Look on your desk, your shelves, and in your office drawers; what do you see? Clutter! And this clutter is not only taking up space but it is also eating up into how effectively you manage your time.

Learn to reduce the space you use for storing important files and folders by taking advantage of the technology you have on your own computer. For example, instead of storing huge volumes of papers and data, you can simply scan it and keep the information on disk. Not only can you purchase software to do this on your own, but there are also business services that will take care of this process for you.

Another tip when it comes to managing your time better by clearing out old stuff is simply to get rid of it. Believe it or not, most of what you think you need to save, can be eliminated altogether. But what about sentimental items like your child's old clothes, or old magazines and books? Well instead of throwing these items away, feel good about giving it to someone that may need them. What better way to clear out your clutter than to give to someone that is in need?
