Clutter is a temper tantrum of the soul, and it's time to listen closely to what it's saying. Clutter, with its overwhelming physical and emotional presence, can seem like it’s one of our toughest inner critics. We see it and think it is telling us that we aren’t neat enough or don’t have enough control over our own lives. But what if we instead saw clutter as a messenger? And as opposed to confronting it with fear and loathing, we approached it with compassion and curiosity? With practical and warm advice, lifestyle designer and coach Kerri Richardson guides you to accept your clutter as a natural manifestation of your mind, body, and spirit looking out for yourself. It is your soul calling out for you to invest in self-care and to face the fears holding you back from being your best self. Richardson dives into the most common categories of physical clutter and provides effi cient and effective steps for clearing the space for your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being to flourish. But more than house and home, Richardson encourages you to clear out the clutter of relationships and habits that have been occupying your time and energy for too long. From tackling your common clutter hot spots to preventing the accumulation of unneeded belongings in the future, the readily usable tools in these pages give you an achievable plan to maximize your house, your home, and your heart’s potential.
Eve has a problem with clutter. Too much stuff and too easily acquired, it confronts her in every corner and on every surface in her house. When she pledges to tackle the worst offender, her horror of a "Hell Room," she anticipates finally being able to throw away all of the unnecessary things she can't bring herself to part with: her fifth-grade report card, dried-up art supplies, an old vinyl raincoat. But what Eve discovers isn't just old CDs and outdated clothing, but a fierce desire within herself to hold on to her identity. Our things represent our memories, our history, a million tiny reference points in our lives. If we throw our stuff in the trash, where does that leave us? And if we don't...how do we know what's really important? Everyone has their own Hell Room, and Eve's battle with her clutter, along with her eventual self-clarity, encourages everyone to dig into their past to declutter their future. Year of No Clutter is a deeply inspiring—and frequently hilarious — examination of why we keep stuff in the first place, and how to let it all go.
