Do you ever feel like you can’t relax because there’s clutter everywhere you look and you don’t know where to start or feel like it’s pointless to start? Or that unsettled feeling of not making any progress despite your best intentions? You clean up the clutter only to find it returned and multiplied. There’s a pile of last week’s mail on the counter, the kids have toys, shoes, and backpacks strewn from one corner of the house to the next and people need to eat tonight.
Is it too much to ask to have a calm home to walk into to? Is it even possible with everything else you have going on? Maybe you’re just destined to live a life of clutter forever.
If you’ve ever felt like this, you aren’t alone. Any time I survey readers about what they struggle with the most, it’s clutter. Instead of moving the piles around, I want you to be able to get rid of the clutter for good, enjoy a life with less stuff, and have systems in place to help you continue to succeed. If clutter makes you crabby but you don’t necessarily know how to get rid of it for good or everything you’ve tried before hasn’t worked, I have something to share with you.
It’s THE CLUTTER HANDBOOK…..
THE CLUTTER HANDBOOK is a 50 page pdf guide and resource webpage designed to take the guesswork out of decluttering your home. It doesn’t matter if you’re starting from a room you can’t walk into or if you just have a couple of annoying clutter piles, this guide is designed to take you from clutter to decluttered in simple, manageable steps.

It’s refreshing to come on a system that suggests 15 minute daily chores and upkeep instead of devoting your entire day to keeping your house up. I have a lot of health issues and just looking at my house and trying to figure out what to do first is exhausting.

Post authorYes, 15 minutes is much more manageable!

Just curious if this book gives resources to get rid of clutter other than throwing things in the trash. My house stays a cluttered mess because I don’t want my stuff cluttering up the environment. What I’m looking for are resources to recycle my clutter (old broken toys and such)
