In this fun, easy-to-use guide to decluttering, #1 New York Times bestselling author Gretchen Rubin shows us how to take control of our things—and, in turn, our lives. Rubin knows firsthand that creating order can make our lives happier, healthier, more productive, and more creative. But rigid, one-size-fits-all solutions don't work for most of us. When we adjust our approach to our specific challenges and habits, we can find contentment and inner peace. With a playful sense of what's realistic for most people, Rubin suggests dozens of actionable tips and tricks for creating a calmer, more organized environment, including: - Never store too many different things together. - Ask yourself, "Do I need more than one?" - Remember: If you can't find something again, you can't use it. By getting rid of things we don't use, need, or love, we'll free up our minds (and shelves) for the things we truly value.
