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

by Gretchen Rubin

Elizabeth, who has given me so many hours of happiness by graciously allowing me to clear her clutter.

If you listen to the "Happier with Gretchen Rubin" podcast, you know how much I love to help Elizabeth clear her clutter. (She--lovingly--calls me her happiness bully.) She has a very satisfying kind of clutter, with which we can achieve dramatic results without much effort. For instance, she keeps empty shopping bags piled under her desk; once we put those in the recycling, the space looks much better in a flash.
