In the context of a happy life, a messy desk or a crowded wardrobe is a trivial problem - yet Gretchen Rubin found that getting control of our stuff makes us feel more in control of our lives.
Ask yourself: DO I NEED IT? DO I LOVE IT? DO I USE IT?
With 150 concrete clutter-clearing ideas, insights, strategies, and sometimes surprising tips, Gretchen tackles the key challenges of creating outer order by explaining how to 'make choices', 'create order', 'know yourself', 'cultivate useful habits' and, of course, how to 'add beauty'.
At home, at work, and in life, when we get our possessions under control, we can create a more serene environment. With a sense of fun, and a clear idea of what's realistic for most people, Gretchen suggests dozens of manageable steps to help us achieve the lives we yearn for.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Helpful habits guru Gretchen Rubin helped us understand how we deal with expectations in The Four Tendencies and encouraged us to unlock contentment in The Happiness Project. Here, she helps us create serene spaces in this approachable how-to. When overwhelmed it feels like organising your desk is last on your to-do list but Rubin demonstrates the freeing power of taking back control of your stuff. Fans of Marie Kondo’s Spark Joy will delight in discovering the health benefits behind the tidying phenomenon including practical tips such as Power Hour. Prepare to say goodbye to clutter and, hopefully, hello to a calmer and more energetic you.
