Outer Order, Inner Calm - Declutter and Organize to Make More Room for Happiness

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER In this lovely, easy-to-use illustrated guide to decluttering, the beloved author of The Happiness Project shows us how to take control of our stuff and, by extension, our lives.

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 can find inner calm.

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, including:

Never label anything miscellaneous.
Ask yourself, Do I need more than one?
Don t aim for minimalism.
Remember: If you can t retrieve it, you won t use it.
Stay current with a child s interests.
Beware the urge to procrasticlear.
< 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.

Rubin had learned that there was a close correlation between habits and happiness, so she figured out how we form them, use them, and change them.
