It's officially spring in the U.S. and over 75 percent of Americans are getting ready to do their annual spring cleaning at home, the American Cleaning Institute found in a recent survey.
While this time of the year is often associated with cleaning your house and removing clutter, Stanford professor Emma Seppala says now is also a great time to "spring clean your mind" and work life.
"Given that we take in [at least] 64 GB of information every day, according to research from UC San Diego, there's probably a lot of clutter in our minds," Seppala, author of "The Happiness Track," tells CNBC Make It.
