Outer Order Inner Calm Declutter & Organize to Make More Room for Happiness

<b><i>NEW YORK TIMES </i>BESTSELLER • In this lovely, easy-to-use illustrated guide to decluttering, the beloved author of <i>The Happiness Project </i>shows us how to take control of our <i>stuff</i>—and, by extension, our lives.</b><br>  <br> Gretchen Rubin knows firsthand that creating order can make our lives happier, healthier, more productive, and more creative. But for most of us, a rigid, one-size-fits-all solution doesn't work. When we tailor our approach to suit our own particular challenges and habits, we<b> </b>can find inner calm.<br>  <br> With a sense of fun, and a clear idea of what’s realistic for most people, Rubin suggests dozens of manageable tips and tricks for creating a more serene, orderly environment, includin<br>  <br> • Never label anything “miscellaneous.”<br> • Ask yourself, “Do I need more than <i>one</i>?”<br> • Don’t aim for minimalism.<br> • Remember: If you can’t retrieve it, you won’t use it.<br> • Stay current with a child’s interests.<br> • Beware the urge to “procrasticlear.”<br>  <br> By getting rid of things we don’t use, don’t need, or don’t love, we free our minds (and our shelves) for what we truly value.
