Decluttering means to remove as many less essential things as possible in favour of acquiring more space. The immediate gain is aesthetic, medical, and some say, spiritual. Decluttering can occur physically with the aim of having more physical space, hence making it pleasant or conducive. It can also be digital, and the purpose would be to have more digital space. These two goes hand in hand as both the physical and the digital space reflects on the mental space- the powerhouse of productivity. Decluttering is therefore a veritable attempt at improving significantly our own mental space, hence productivity and general wellbeing.
There are different levels of decluttering, graduating from sanitization to optimization, and finally; minimalism. Using the Contactless Business Card in lieu of the paper business card, for example, is no mere sanitization because the business card proves to be very useful even till today. Decluttering your paper business card wallet is no mere minimalism either. The aim of the digital business card is not fancy. The contactless business card as issued by LITCAF is instead for optimization.
Purpose of the LITCAF contactless business card is not just to look tidy, organized or modern. Beyond those, it achieves the original intent of the first users of a printed business card- which is to make the handler available, visible and contactable when their product or service is needed. Before now, the purpose of the business card had been achieved at the cost of physical and mental clutter. Your wallet is not only stuffed by cards obtained from different events, but you are also obliged to mentally allocate each card to a face. Further, you are supposed to type out contact details for you to be able to utilize card detail. LITCAF sure makes all that smooth. As the need for optimizing our capacity to undertake the challenges of the 21st Century increases, so does our commitment towards decluttering, hence achieving more with little.
What Decluttering does
Admittedly, clutter is not hated by everyone. For some it is an assurance that they have been busy. It used to bring the feeling of homeliness but the human sense have since evolved to value freedom and progress. More people have come to realize that there is more profit in doing business rather than busyness.
Clutter has been reported to lead to reduced productivity and more chronic procrastination. Clutter is a physical stressor in workplace. This depletes workers’ energy and makes them more likely to delay decisions.
