 Clutter 101
 14 comments
One of the most successful habits I have been able to implement in my life has been to consistently stay on top of clutter and keep my home organized and streamlined. Most satisfactorily I can now keep on top of it all with minimal effort and time. I’ve covered my thoughts and tips on how to de-clutter in the past with my Clutter 101 series, which has proved to be the most popular on the blog.
It’s with this in mind that I felt I needed to expand on the topic. The occasional blog post simply wasn’t enough, however. The next logical step was an ebook. Today, I am making the results available and it is called Clutter 101: The Definitive Guide To De-cluttering Your Life. For the first five days it will be exclusively available to RSS subscribers (check out the link at the bottom of the feed). You can subscribe now if you haven’t already. You will be able to check the book out via the site from Friday.
UPDATE: The book is now available.
Given that the whole issue of clutter is such a deep one and it was my first attempt at writing an ebook, I felt it unfair to charge for it when I will inevitably continue to expand and improve on it. So, yes, it’s completely free! It’s been an interesting experiment going from writing comparatively short articles on this blog, to trying to write something with much more depth. I hope you like the results. If you do enjoy the book and find it helpful, I would be grateful of any donation, however.

That should be a great read! It’s nice to have a central place where a vast amount of information can be read at once. Thanks for taking the time to put together something like this. Someday, I wish to be able to do the same.

Thank you. More than a good summary, it’s a useful step-by-step, room-by-room guide of how to de-clutter. Plenty of useful tips here, many are not so obvious.
I recently re-organized one room and that was a major task. It will be a major project to do the whole house, but I am trying to move to a simpler life and need all the advice I can get!

Sell your junk, and give the money to the poor. Or take it direct to a charity shop. If you ain’t used it in years, likely you never will. I’m doing this, and you would not believe how much unnecessary stuff even a cheapskate like me has. Great book!

Thankyou James for a very concise, informative guide, so straight to the point and easy to read. Many of these guides seem to be just making suggestions, but in the case of Clutter 101, you are talking us through it all step-by-step. This is really motivating, and eliminates the “Where shall I start?” dilemma. Highly recommended!
