Take a few minutes each day to jot down all the thoughts racing through your mind. This can include tasks, worries, or random ideas. This “mind dump” externalises your thoughts, preventing them from swirling endlessly in your head. Once everything is on paper, you can prioritise and address each item systematically, reducing the mental load.

Set clear priorities to organise your thoughts and tasks. Categorise tasks into Urgent, Important and Not important allowing you to focus on you priorities while minimising mental clutter.

Cultivate a positive mindset by acknowledging and appreciating the good aspects of your life. Regularly practising gratitude shifts focus from what causes stress to what brings joy and fulfilment. Keep a gratitude journal and jot down three things you are grateful for each day. A gratitude journal allows for a more positive and optimistic outlook to your day.

Too much information contributes heavily towards mental clutter – especially from our digital devices and social media. Set boundaries for your media consumption, including social media, news, and email. Designate specific times for checking these platforms to prevent information overload and create mental space for more meaningful activities.
