Unclutter Your Life by Katherine Gibson


Unclutter Your Life: Transforming Your Physical, Mental, and Emotional Space by Katherine Gibson does more than tackle the clutter we see—a messy desk, junk under the bed, stuff in closets or jammed in the attic. In short, coffee-break length chapters, Unclutter Your Life exposes the unseen obstacles that pack the mental and emotional in-basket of life. “I was asked to write Unclutter Your Life when a piece I wrote about living TV-free aired on CBC radio,” says Katherine. “Writing this book has impacted how I live my life and I am delighted to share what I have learned with others.” Unclutter Your Life will show how our creative potential is unleashed when we attack visible and invisible clutter with action, clarity, and a good spring cleaning.
