    About this ebook

    Here’s how to follow through on your good intentions and create a clutter-free living space in only 30 days. Instead of using up precious time off work for a decluttering marathon, this book shows how to clear out the clutter one bite at a time.

    The book shows how short, efficient decluttering sessions using time after work and brief interludes of free time on weekends can be more effective than a frontal assault on clutter. These short sessions, often carried out with the help of friends and family, keep stress and frustration at a minimum, and produce immediate results that you can see. As you progress through the four-week plan in the book, you’ll gain momentum that will propel you through the process and leave you clutter free at last.

    The author deals with both the physical and emotional aspects of clutter and gives tips for maintaining your freedom from clutter after the 30 days are up. Take charge, free yourself from clutter, and find greater satisfaction with your home and life

      INTRODUCTION

      *****

      Hello, my name is Tara, and I have a clutter problem in my home. Since you’re reading this book, you might have the same problem I have. I’m not talking about the problems you see on television shows like Hoarders, or stories that make the newspapers. My clutter is just frustrating. You know, when you can’t find something you’re looking for when you need it, or when you have to move stuff out of the way in the closet to get to what you want.

      To tell you a bit about myself, I’m a human resources manager at a private college in a medium size Midwestern city. I’m also mother to two children in elementary school, and I’m wife to the greatest husband ever (I know, my opinion is biased!). I volunteer with the local food pantry once a week and am active in my church. In short, I have no time to declutter. At least, that’s my excuse.

      The truth is, we let our home fall
