At a certain point in life we all need to de-clutter and reorganize. I design and decorate for a living and yet I am completely guilty of hording things. Some of the most difficult items for me to let go were things that my mother had left after she died (rest in peace) It just felt as if I was betraying her memory to store them. This is one way in which the book I featured in this post can help. There is a definite co-relation between a cluttered home and a cluttered and bogged down life, and the book points out why that is. Once I cleared out my own home it felt like life just somehow got... easier (if that makes any sense at all lol) Too much of anything is unhealthy, it weighs a person down, whether it's too much food, too much alcohol, or just too much stuff. It's all relative I think. Spot On Kate. At a certain point in life we all need to de-clutter and reorganize. I design and decorate for a living and yet I am completely guilty of hording things.

Too much of anything is unhealthy, it weighs a person down, whether it’s too much food, too much alcohol, or just too much stuff. It’s all relative I think.

It is as if the fewer things I have to deal with the easier it is to keep my home neat naturally but the biggest change I have noticed it that the less i have around me the better I feel. I see the most difference in how much more positive and creative I am. Funny isn't it. I used to find comfort in having lots of things around me but somewhere along the line that changed and I don't think I am alone in that feeling. I think collectively we all feel a need for more breathing room and less clutter. We want clearer mindless, less to worry about, and whether we realize it or not less stuff. It is well worth it to give yourself the gift of getting rid of your clutter. It is often just difficult to find the time and energy to get rid of the stuff you spent so much time and energy acquiring. The book you mention sounds like it provides strategies to get over this barrier.
