The Clutter-Busting Handbook
$10.95 (US)
Order now“Recovered Pack Rat” Rita Emmett writes that we do not have clutter
because we are messy, lazy or disorganized. Clutter comes from just 4
(yes, only 4) habits. Rita gives you a simple compassionate, energizing
plan for breaking those habits, for taming clutter and simple tips to
help you:
-
stop saving all those goofy things that you never need
or use
-
stop bringing goofy things into your life that you
never need or use
-
find places to put your stuff
-
stop setting things down and not putting them where
they belong
-
cultivate new habits to keep clutter from returning
-
part with some of your beloved junk … er … stuff,
without breaking your heart or making you cry like a baby poodle
Once you've eliminated un-needed and un-used stuff, and
set boundaries on what you allow to come into your home or work space,
you will be delighted by how much easier it is to find places for your
stuff. AND how much easier it is to find what you want when you want it.

Thanks to your book, the more I
de-clutter, the more peaceful my house is. And as my house becomes more
peaceful, I'm becoming more peaceful within myself.

As a Professional Organizer, I read a
lot of books on organizing as part of my continuing education. There are
many organizing books out there on the market these days, and I have to
tell you some of them are down right boring! But, not The
Clutter-Busting Handbook. Your book is fun to read, because you cover
all the basics of organizing in a very light-hearted and up-beat manner.
GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!! Thank you.

Everyone has a corner in his or her home or office that has become a
catchall for a wealth of "stuff." In this entertaining read, Emmett (The
Procrastinator's Handbook) aides clutter collectors in identifying "When
Enough Becomes Too Much" and doles out advice on how to achieve and
maintain an inviting and airy living space. A "Recovered Pack Rat,"
Emmett argues that living or working in a cluttered environment can take
a toll on one's physical and emotional well being: "When you are
surrounded by confusion, you feel confused; when you are surrounded by
junk, you feel junky." This slim but thorough book helps readers tackle
problem areas like closets and garages, and also includes tips on
emptying e-mail accounts and clearing out ordinary paper clutter. Emmett
lists 50 ways to get rid of and limit unwanted items, naming various
charities and online auctions and making suggestions such as share
magazine subscriptions with friends. Throughout, she includes helpful
"clutter quizzes" that identify bad habits and gives readers practical
tips on how to remain focused. With its sound advice and upbeat,
encouraging tone, this book will motivate readers to get a jump on their
spring cleaning.
