Stress is finding its way into every part of modern-day life. Acquaintances are able to make contact at a moment's notice. Information comes flying in via mail, email, text, social media, TV, the internet – all grabbing your attention and filling your mind with clutter.

High blood pressure, headaches, stiff muscles, exhaustion and insomnia– even your body lets you down when it gets overloaded. Luckily there are very simple techniques that you can employ to de-clutter your life and reduce your stress levels. Bit by bit, you will find that you have more time to spend on the things that truly matter, and better enjoyment of them when you get there.
