Renowned World Music singer Sheila Chandra turned non-fiction author in 2010, following voice problems which forced her to retire from her international music career. She says writing has become her 'second voice'.

After being urged by friends to share her secret to living clutter free despite having a demanding career, she wrote Banish Clutter Forever outlining her own system for home organizing - which she says makes daily tidy ups redundant 'pretty much forever'.

“The antidote to this syndrome is to make friends with your subconscious creative mind. For a start, remember that it’s a playful child, and it reacts much as a child does. Joyful, passionate and happy when given the right space to “play” in. Sulky and uncooperative when not. Give it something to mull over in an unpressured way while you walk or sleep and it will almost always come up with the goods. Whatever you do, don’t pressure it with ridiculous deadlines or bad working conditions more than you absolutely have to.”
