How This Book Will Transform Your Life
How can we move on with our life if we continuously keep messes of the past that burdens us? To start right, we need to let go of the things that holds us back. Yet, letting go is one of the hardest and tiresome thing to do. How can we make letting go as easy as walking out of the porch? This book will help you transform your life by starting to organize your things and declutter messes and continue on organizing your life.
We will look into the proven ideas of decluttering and organizing from Marie Kondo and other best-selling authors in this field. This will give us a lot of option to better organize our life and ourselves.
So, what is this decluttering and organizing all about? According to the Webster’s Dictionary, clutter means to cover or fill with disordered things or scattered things that hinders movement or reduce effectiveness and efficiency. Having added the prefix de-, means transforming the base word, ‘cluttering’ or piling into a negative meaning. Decluttering is the process of organizing or removing the pile of disordered things. On the other hand, organizing means to form something into a coherent unity and makes it function as a whole. It also means to arrange things using a system and planning.
The basic thing about decluttering is knowing what things are needed to be kept and what things are needed to be thrown away or donated. We must know the distinction between mementos and trashes. We must also find reasons on why or why not should we keep the things that are piling up in our bedroom, kitchen, garage or other parts of the house.
