He asked me to sit next to him, took my hand in his, and told me he could no longer live with all of my clutter. "I know exactly what you mean."Īlmost a decade ago, surrounded by stacks of papers, piles of shoes and clothes, and dozens of boxes of sentimental trinkets, my husband had a conversation with me that changed my life. I’ll lose at least one in all of my crap. I’ll need two copies of your book, my friend said. Follow her directions and you’ll reap enormous benefits. But Erin does a great job in taking you by the hand with step-by-step instructions that make the process not only easier than you think but fun as well. To stop accumulating clutter you’ll need to move beyond irrational attachments, step out of your comfort zone, and overcome basic inertia.
#Unclutter your life in one week book manual
A sense of freedom, clarity, and general lightness of being accompanies an uncluttered space-in your kitchen, in your office, and in your life.Įrin Doland has experienced this from both sides, and she gives this highly practical manual for achieving that kind of positive experience an elegant dose of empathy and understanding. The rewards are immense when the back end of the creative process is absorbed as habit in your endeavors-the closure, the sweep-up, the reordering of your tools.
Denying that reality diminishes my enjoyment of its beauty. Ninety percent of my gardening is cleanup. Keeping everything around you current and relevant is a continual challenge requiring eternal vigilance and a consistent investment of time and energy. The ballpoint refills in your drawer became useless when that pen disappeared, as well as the mementos of your boyfriend when he went with it. Time changes the meaning of things, so if you simply do nothing, stuff accumulates around you. No one I know wakes up and says, I can’t wait to go gather more piles of unnecessary, numbing, extraneous glop! But it happens to the best of us. On the micro side, it’s the propensity of each of us to generate stuff-the detritus that can clog our garages, hallways, computers, and heads. At the macro level, it’s mountains of garbage that can’t find a home and carbon dioxide taking over the atmosphere. We live in a culture that seems to create a lot more than it completes and collect a lot more than it cleans up.
