It's not important to me for its own sake. I tend to just put things down somewhere when I'm completely or half finished and move on to the next idea.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, I have learnt that order makes my life easier.

Giving structure to tasks and things.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Simply clear out<\/h2>\n<p>Clearly, tidying up is easier when you have little.<\/p>\n<p>Before I moved to the ship, I sold a lot of books and organised two giveaway parties with hundreds of items. After the move, I realised that I still didn't have enough space. So I used up and disposed of 600 more items over the next few months. The difference was hardly noticeable.<\/p>\n<p>I feel the burden: there is still too much. Airmail envelopes and homemade wrapping paper from my youth! Sea buckthorn liqueur and African spices, brochures, flyers and cards. The average person owns around 10,000 items. With an office and shipbuilding workshop, it's probably 30,000.<strong><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-4742\" src=\"https:\/\/kerstinhack.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2017-10-12-10.18.22-e1508502733453-178x300.jpg\" width=\"264\" height=\"445\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I decided on 20 September: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>By the end of the year, there should be 2,000 fewer items.<\/strong> If I dispose of 10 things a day and 50 at weekends, I can manage that.<\/p>\n<h4>From the inside out<\/h4>\n<p><strong>The problem: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>High-speed disposal only works if I throw a lot of things away.

I recognised the old messages and the inner stress associated with them. I then de-stressed myself using effective coaching methods because I didn't want to clear out my inner stress, but rather to do so without it.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>\u00a0The result<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>In the first 20 days of the experiment, I easily disposed of 272 items. I'm keeping a list, of course, because I want to control this somehow.

Self-coaching with wingwave \" width=\"201\" height=\"201\" \/><\/a>Almost everyone has blockages. This can be in the area of tidying up or other things that they actually want to do but then somehow don't: saying no, approaching people, daring to do something new, etc.<\/p>\n<p>It makes sense not to force yourself to do something you don't really want to do. Instead, start by releasing the blockage: Through dialogue, prayer or good coaching - an hour is often enough to track down old patterns and release them.<\/p>\n<p>This can be liberating and give you the strength to finally tackle things that you have been putting off for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>I love to release my own blockages and to support other people in releasing their blockages.<\/p>\n<p>This is my vocation and profession - if you want to be coached by me live in Berlin or by phone, you can find information on my website <a href=\"https:\/\/kerstinhack.de\/en\/coaching\/\">www.kerstinhack.de<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you don't have enough time or capacity for this, I recommend the Quadro <a href=\"https:\/\/www.down-to-earth.de\/quadros\/orientierung\/quadro-blockaden-loesen.html?number=3044883\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Release blockages.
