self-improvement.

My goal this year is not forward-looking. It’s an attempt to regain something from the past: Focus. We used to have the ability to give sustained, undivided attention to a person or to a project. But all the devices that make our lives more efficient come at a price. They drain us of our focus, too rare a commodity these days.

There were several nights last year when I would be finishing a story at 3 a.m. because hours

10

pass by like minutes on the Internet. From slavishly checking our iPhones to catching up on Facebook, we allow interruptions to intrude and disrupt the way our brains are wired.

Unless the tasks are mindless, like laundry, multitasking is a myth. Even when we “relax,� we’re doing several things at once — watching television while riding a stationary bike while texting a friend and checking our e-mail.

This is not the sort of relaxation that recharges our minds and

bodies. Doing several things at once leaves us stressed and less able to filter the information overload.

Scientists say we have become addicted to the mini hits of dopamine released when our brain is alerted to a burst of information.

Without this constant state of alerts, we get restless, bored. The New York Times recently profiled an intelligent young high school student, who can create complex films on his computer but lacks the attention span to finish read-

Ours is a culture of abundance. Even in this time of economic recession — most of us have more ’stuff’ than we really, truly, need. Clutter, whether it is too many tasks on our agenda, too many thoughts pulsing through our

minds, or too many belongings in our homes, seems to be a societal epidemic.

When we slow down a bit and take notice, however, we find that more stuff actually creates more stress.

Additionally, the state of having too much stuff to care for, clean, and manage means less time for connecting with family and friends, taking care of

Designate one spot for all incoming mail/paperwork and go through it daily.

Unsubscribe from email newsletters, blogs, and retail email lists that no longer interest you. It’s YOUR inbox, after all.

Before purchasing anything, from new socks to a new smartphone, ask yourself: “Do I love it?� and “Will I use it?� Think twice unless the answer to both questions is a resounding “Yes!�

Commit to clearing clutter from one area of your home each day for a week and schedule ten minutes daily to do it. Start with something totally feasible, like your coat rack or medicine chest.

Meditate for ďŹ ve minutes each day. This will help declutter your mind and give you the clarity to keep what’s essential and part with the rest.

Eliminate clothing from your closet and dresser that hasn’t been worn in the last calendar year.

yourself, and nurturing your soul and creative spirit.

Reducing physical clutter in the home creates a sense of calm, and allows energy to flow freely throughout. New possibilities emerge and creative solutions to old problems seem to appear from nowhere. Here are some things you can start doing now to make it happen:

Find a home for clutter-prone items, you know, the things that wind up on the kitchen table, living room oor, and bedroom dresser. Designate a place for them and make a habit of putting them there, every single day.

9.

Create clutter-free zones in your home. The entryway is a great place to start. If there is clutter in the entrance, 98 percent of the time there is clutter throughout the house. The kitchen table is another good choice. Keep what you love and use, recycle, donate or toss everything else. Be ruthless!

Use “maybe� boxes. If, in the course of de-cluttering, you’re not sure what to do with an item, put it in the maybe box. Note the date on the box and store it out of sight. If you don’t go looking for those items within six months to a year, it’s time to get rid of those things.

10.

Evaluate your commitments. Most of us are overscheduled, which is its own form of clutter. Make sure your commitments are reective of your values and your priorities. Say no to new commitments without guilt and drop whatever commitments no longer serve you. Your life needs space for free owing energy, just like your home.

There is an important rule when you start dating again after a divorce: Never get dating advice from your mother.

In fact, it’s better not to share dating details at all.

My advice harkens back to my teenage years when I was certain that my mother did not understand. The truth is that she did — and she didn’t.

Your mother may have heard all the gory details of your court day, but that doesn’t mean she’s ready to hear about your sex life.

More important, mothers simply do not understand life after divorced, even mothers who have been divorced themselves. The worst issue?

They simply do not understand that, at your age, you are highly unlikely to find a man who has no complications. Twenty-something men have no children, little emotional baggage and don’t pay alimony. Forty-something men do. And if they have never been married — obvious evidence to your mother that he must be perfect — then ask her (and yourself) WHY he’s never been married after all these years.

Does he have commitment issues? Is he overly-attached to his mother? Was he in jail?

It’s important to reconcile yourself to the fact that your future man will have complications, and those complications will affect you. He may not be able to love your children as much as his own. He may not be able to bring home much money until his kids have grown up.

Divorced men do, however, have some distinct advantages to the guys you dated in your twenties.

-They are likely to be humbled by their divorce, and less arrogant.

-They have hopefully learned more about how to love a woman, and how not to love a woman.

-They are more likely to have had some psychological counseling to deal with their anger, depression or whatever.

-They know more about parenting than men who have no children.

-They understand why you still have to deal with your ex.

-They have more experience in bed.

Of course, your mother wants the perfect man for you. What she might not understand is that divorce brings a new definition of perfect.

At some point, we ceded our privacy, then we gave up our concentration. This is an insidious sort of procrastination.

It is more dangerous than doodling or daydreaming because it creates an aura of faux productivity.

What would Apple be without Steve Jobs?

Resolving to focus amid the hubbub of technology My resolutions were so ambitious in the era before children. I would start each year with a list of goals, similar to the list you make when applying to colleges: Some are a stretch, others within reach, and a few backups to prevent feeling like a complete failure.

But as my responsibilities have grown, I’ve streamlined my resolutions. Life starts feeling too short to be in a constant state of

households cannot move because they owe more on their mortgage than their home is worth, according to Capital Economics. An additional 25 percent canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t qualify for a new mortgage because selling their homes would leave them with too little money for a down payment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to see new lows hit across most major markets at some point in 2011,â&#x20AC;? said Mark Vitner, a senior economist at Wells Fargo Securities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re afraid of all this turning into another vicious cycle.â&#x20AC;?

Housing prices in all but one of the 20 cities tracked by Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s/Case Shiller fell in December from November. And the overall index declined for the sixth straight month. Washington

was the only metro area where prices rose month to month.

Eleven of the markets hit their lowest point since the housing bubble burst in 2006 and 2007: Atlanta, Charlotte, N.C., Chicago, Detroit, Las Vegas, Miami, New York, Phoenix, Seattle, Tampa, Fla., and Portland, Ore. The housing sector is struggling even while much of the economy is recovering slowly but steadily. The latest evidence of the divide came Tuesday when the Conference Board said its Consumer Confidence Index rose in February to its highest point in three years. The report suggested that many people are more hopeful about hiring and income gains over the next six months.
