Un-Clutter! 66 Routes to a Freer Life!

by Andy Goodman

Do you ever have trouble finding things? Is it sometimes the case that you buy things and later wonder why you did? Are there items around your home or apartment or workplace area that you honestly can't remember buying? Are there items sitting around your home that you don't ever seem to have much of a need for? Are there things you have you do not really want? Are some rooms messy or difficult to navigate because of the number of items they contain?Do you ever find yourself thinking negatively or stuck in a pattern of thoughts that do not seem helpful? Are you at times unable to control your thoughts or do you feel your thoughts may be running away from you? Does your mind ever become tempered or tainted with thoughts that are against yourself or your own ideas? Are you ever, 'your own worst enemy?'A lot of us get into patterns where we may retain items or purchases we have made that we no longer need; or hold on to mental patterns and attitudes that are unhelpful. We can experience clutter as a freedom cry that comes from spaces overcrowded with items that are not serving us. Thing proliferation may take over our life, so that the accumulation of more and more items can become almost like a cancer in our lives. There are a number of ways that clutter can take over our lives. We may need to become clutter free with kids, if our younger family members are also accumulating items at a rate faster than our capacity to store or use them. We may need access to the mental clarity that clutter busting or a sound clutter buster technique can provide us. Not only does this affect us on the physical level, but mental clutter is also a challenge a lot of us may face when our thinking runs away from us in a negative direction. The troubles of life may overwhelm us and we are in need of a mental cleanse and a space cleanse.But we can answer this freedom call. We can engage in a 'clutter buster' process that will take us beyond the tension and mess to a place of mental clarity. Clutter busting is indeed available to all of us!It is just a matter of knowing the techniques, knowing the routes to travel, knowing how to get past our present blocks.This short and concise book will provide you with 66 routes that can and will end the clutter in your life. This is literally what we can call an 'un-clutter road map' that tells you how to get past both the physical and mental clutter that becomes a day to day aspect of life for all too many of us.The book is laid out in two parts that both support and complement each other. We will look at both the mental and the physical aspects of clutter. We will discover how to deal with, and end, the forays of this monster like predator into our lives. All too often the mental gets overlooked as we focus more simply on getting a grip on our physical space, on tidying up our lives via strictly space control orientated processes. Though there is value in looking at and working with our physical space, it is not enough. The truth is that the underlying causes of clutter are very often mental in nature. Twenty Six of the routes we are going to look at, those in the second half of this book, deal with mental clutter and how to get past clutter in terms of adjusting our frame of mind. Frame of mind is critical; and this section can provide a route out that lasts -and is not simply a temporary form of relief until the next buying spree comes along.Are you ready to clean up the spaces in your life? Are you ready and willing to develop approaches and attitudes that will support, and help grow, the mental clarity you experience day to day? Are you ready to travel a route to freedom? It’s time to start enjoying a freer life! Come on and join us in the journey out of the land of clutter!

This is a problem that many of us have, but don't know we suffer from it. Not until we move to a new place or do spring cleaning do we realize how stuck with our possessions we are. Dr. Andrew M. Goodman delivers here a novel book that every single family can benefit from reading and applying to our lives. I think this is a great first step in making even grander changes in our lives for the better.

Un-Clutter is exactly what the doctor ordered! You don't have to be a hoarder or a pack rat to benefit from removing the clutter from your life. Personally, I started small using some of the simpler tips in the book and became more confident to make drastic changes. I'm happier for the better. Not only is my home better off, but my mental state is new and fresh. I think my memory has improved, my mood has lightened, and I finally know the exact location of all of my belongings. Un-clutter! 66 Routes to a Freer Life was one of my best book decisions.

I still need to try out some of the routes, so until then I can't really rate the book as it's designed to be hands-on / a workbook.
