![]() 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.

Save yourself a lot of time and money and read this one first. I was impressed by the way she manages to cover home clutter, work clutter and general life clutter. ![]() For each step along the way, she offers several approaches so you can choose the way that best fits your life and your style. She also acknowledges that different methods and systems work for different people. It’s accessible and casual in tone, but to the point. Most of the books I’ve read aren’t bad, per se, but there’s often quite a bit of fluff (clutter?) in the way of the message. I’m not looking for an overly familiar, dear-friend type (in an author I’ve never met) to douse me with warm fuzzies while I get rid of my stuff. I don’t want to be entertained with silly jokes and I don’t want a therapist to try to work through my issues with clutter. When I read a book on this topic, I want a solution. I’ve read an embarrassing number of books on organizing and de-cluttering and this is the book I wish I’d read first.
