What If I Don't Have Enough?: Simple Steps to Sort Out Clutter in Your Life and Your Home
Do you want to discover the real reason behind your clutter and learn practical ways to fix this?
Clutter issues go much deeper than the stereotypical idea that an individual is lazy, procrastinating, and unorganized. Often, clutter is not the result of these behaviors or characteristics! Unravel the truth with What if I Don’t Have Enough, a concise but comprehensive guide on how to love your home and life again.
There are superficial reasons why you accumulate clutter. Consumerism culture, keeping up with the Joneses, and FOMO (fear of missing out). However, these reasons are often side-effects of more severe problems.
Finding the reason behind your penchant for piles of stuff is the magic first step in reclaiming your space and inner peace.
Studies show that 80% of our clutter is never used. It’s a manifestation of our subconscious. Its cause might be rooted in general issues such as stress, insecurity, past and present anxieties, or more severe problems such as PTSD, OCD, or phobias.
With Renata Roberts’s What if I Don’t Have Enough, equip yourself to:
• Discover the reasons behind your clutter
• Identify your limiting beliefs and stress triggers
• Shed emotional baggage
• Work through trauma and release regrets
• Formulate ways to prevent procrastination
• Understand the impact clutter has on your life
• Implement practical ways to declutter and maintain the habit
• and so much more…
Included in this book are a few fun journeys to help you understand yourself better by delving into the types of clutter you accumulate, your clutter archetype, and how your parental upbringing dictates your attachment style.
This book addresses all aspects of life. You will be guided through the processes of mental, emotional, and physical decluttering.
Find out what your living area, possessions, and schedule say about you. Clear up family clutter. Conquer the kitchen—that clutter magnet. Learn how to say no. Create me-time. Bring the focus back into your life with chores, routines, and goals.
Decluttering is not a loss; it is a renewal. Once you understand the benefits and experience the changes in your life, your reluctance to find order might turn into a love for decluttering!
Renata is not a storage specialist. She is a qualified Master Life Coach with psychology and practical theology degrees. With her specialization in trauma, social pressure, and emotional challenges, she helps you find lasting ways of decluttering your life. It’s a cathartic process and can reveal many insightful things about yourself.
Purge yourself of your feelings of inadequacy, shame about the state of your home, and the anxiety created by chaos. Find more time for your family, improve your focus and memory (yes, these are symptoms of clutter!), increase your energy and productivity, and find harmony in life once again.
Unless you are a minimalist, you will see yourself in this book. Read about yourself and ways to improve the quality of your life with What if I Don’t Have Enough.
It’s time to clean up and be happy!

I was impressed with the author's take on the causes of clutter and how to resolve it. Would recommend!
This book is a guide to help the reader understand mental and physical clutter and their causes. The book uses psychology to help readers understand the root cause(s) of the clutter in their lives.
The author includes the following topics: from clutter to chaos; the consequences of chaos; behind the mess; mental decluttering; emotional decluttering; physical decluttering; time and space; what if it happens again; and the beauty of a simple life.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

A Very Different Decluttering Book
Like a tsunami wave after the earthquake of Marie Kondo, decluttering books by other authors have followed, nearly overwhelming the self-help space. I've read and reviewed a fair number of them, and this is one of the more unusual ones I’ve read. What makes it so? It seems to be primarily driven by psychology. In fact, you don't get to physical decluttering until Chapter 6! Before that, the author looks at the effects of “clutter chaos” on your mind and spirit, and she has you do physical and emotional decluttering before embracing the physical. I felt like the book needed more specific action steps and more resources within the book itself to make them happen. Instead, some directions need a fuller explanation to be able to actually do them, and the author often refers you to resources outside the book. I found the book to be excessively wordy for what should be a good decluttering book. Unfortunately, too, it often read like somebody's research paper on the topic of decluttering, with lots of quotes and references to academic and popular works. I got little sense of the author’s voice; there wasn’t much of an authorial “I” to go along with the reader “you.” I like my nonfiction books to read like a good conversation. I think this book has good bones, but it wasn't executed as well as it could have been to be really accessible to the reader who needs and wants to declutter, even if they need to address the psychological and emotional aspects to ultimately be successful in decluttering. If you don't mind a somewhat cerebral slog through the concept of decluttering that is seen through a psychological lens, you may find words of wisdom in this book that will help you mentally and physically declutter.

This book showed great promise in that it seemed to identify some of the deeply rooted fears that prevent a clear move to minimalism. Problematically, though, it identified the issues with very little explanation or guidance as to how to address those issues. More importantly, it was so poorly written (e.g., double negatives, run on sentences, passive voice, missing commas) that it was challenging to glean much at all.

good book focusing on reframing mindsets
Good book about decluttering which focuses on reframing maladaptive mindsets and addressing root cause in addition to the actual act of decluttering ; i like that this one took an approach to talk about what causes clutter to build up and how to combat it.

I enjoyed the book. A lot of background information about why we are hoarders or clutter. Not so much teaching or techniques to manage.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

Not so memorable. It was quite long. I don't enjoy reading on BookFunnel.
