Do Some Decluttering

Start the year off by creating a clutter-free zone for yourself. Whether this includes cleaning your favorite room in the house, or the whole house, having a clean space can help you stay productive and focus on other tasks or hobbies you prefer to tackle throughout the day. Studies have shown the more organized someone's home is, the more optimistic and clear-minded they'll feel.

Alternative methods for organizing your space, like Feng Shui, teach that there is a direct correlation between an individual's health and the quality of the energy in their space.
