Clutter-Free(dom)

A clutter-free home is about everything you can do, be, and enjoy when you don’t need to spend time and energy on the stuff.

Imagine walking in the door and taking the deepest of deep breaths because you’re finally home after a long day and you can now relax and recharge.
Think about the hobbies that you can easily spend time on because the kitchen counter or dining room table are cleared off and ready for action. There’s no “pre-work” of clearing a space before you can bake or sew or do a puzzle.
Call up some friends and invite them over tonight for a spontaneous dinner because you know you can tidy up in a flash and everyone will feel comfortable hanging out.
Do a workout in the living room because there is plenty of space to move around and you have plenty of energy -- you didn’t have to spend that energy on sorting through piles of stuff or searching for lost paperwork.
Pull out a board game and have fun with your family. There’s less housework to worry about now and more time for making memories.

You see? It’s not about the stuff. It’s about everything that is possible when the stuff is not getting in the way, taking up your time, and draining your energy.

You will better understand where all of your clutter came from and develop systems to keep it from coming back.
You will declutter your entire house, room by room, step by step, with mini checklists for each area.
You will discover new ways of thinking about the space in your house and your stuff.
You will learn powerful strategies that will allow your house to stay tidy and uncluttered.
You will tackle tricky categories with ease, like paperwork, toys, technology, and family heirlooms.

Prior to reading the book, my house was unorganized, chaotic, and stressful. However, after reading the book I have been able to take control of my house while making great donations to the local community. I am able to walk in my door after work and know exactly where EVERYTHING goes without questioning it. A small amount of effort has allowed me to be relaxed, stress-free, and more engaged while being at home. This book was able to change my life and help me regain control and comfort at home.

You know how when you need to do something hard and you just can't get motivated to do it or it feels soooo overwhelming? That's the D word for me...decluttering. You would think after moving three times within five years there wouldn't be much left to declutter. Oh, but there is! Paper, family heirlooms, craft stuff, kitchen gadgets, seasonal decorations. The Clutter Free(dom) guide helped me tackle it all. First with great insight about why I keep the stuff in the first place, then with "how to's" to make the job of decluttering manageable, fun (yes, it is possible) and doable. Christine brings together so much great content I hadn't seen before. Her insight and wisdom is worthy of highlighting and revisiting again and again. Do yourself a favor. Buy the guide, read it through, and then get at it. As she says, "your home is for living, not storing".
