My life and its mess

My life is in a big mess. I feel that there is so much rubbish that I need to clear. I need to:
(i) clear up my room,
(ii) polish and service my car (and the boot),
(iii) tidy up my e-mails,
(iv) clean my workstation,
(v) sort up my finances,
(vi) arrange the files & icons in my hard disk drive, etc.
When there is so much burden that I have to clear, I feel that I am in a complete mess. What can I do? What should I do? How do I go about doing it?

I just read an article in which an American author, Dan Buettner, interviewed Minister Mentor LKY in 2008. Dan's sixth book, Thrive, researches on the world's happiest places which includes a profile of Singapore. His excerpts read, 'By now, we had finished our tea. I looked around at Lee's airy office again and was struck by its complete absence of clutter. How suitably his own approach to work captured the very notion he was describing - living out the values he found important.'. Maybe it's time I get the book written by Dan Buettner to add on to my clutter. What more harm can one book do to the mountain of mess?
