Clearing the Clutter is an easy-to-follow guide that shows you exactly how to de-junk, room by room. Then, make your space really work for you and energize after your clear-out.

Clearing clutter is a powerful process that will bring startling changes in your life. In cluttered areas of your home, chi (energy) stagnates, and once this stale energy has accumulated, it will grow even more. Junk mail, abandoned craft projects, newspapers waiting for recycling- all constitute clutter. Clutter also means all those neglected items that you hide in corners, thinking that you will make a decision about them later- but you never do. Avoiding a drastic clear-out can stem from a fear of the future, but once you commit to it, you will move on and change.
