| [This is a first-person account of what’s worked for me in preparing to gut the crap out of my house; you should feel free to do or not do any part of this — or just adjust the recipe to whatever suits your own needs, hangups, household fetishes, and budget.

| My War on Clutter: Never organize what you can discard |

| Tags: Productivity, Home Life, Clutter, Declutter, Its All Too Much, Organization, Peter Walsh |
| One of the most basic concepts Peter Walsh talks about in It's All Too Much brought a total breakthrough for me. If the stuff that you accumulate doesn’t help get you closer to the life you want to have, it’s simply not worth keeping. Period. Obviously (and unavoidably), this goes for a family room that’s turned into a junk |

| As I mentioned the other day, I learned about the anti-clutter book, It's All Too Much, when its author, Peter Walsh, was interviewed for the Unclutterer site. Well, the timing must have been right, because I bought a copy, and by the time I’d finished the first chapter, a switch had flipped in my head. I say “timing” because, |

| I like this Blumenthal bloke. Watch the whole video and you’ll see the whoopin’ and hollerin’ when good ol’ Pastor Hagee invokes the senator for Israel, Joe Lieberman, in calling for war with Iran. George W Bush will be President of the United States for another 541 days, 6 hours and 31 minutes. Share This |

| Today was. We went to a bar-mitzvah in the morning where there was no air conditioning and it was, too.Tal and my guests played It's Alive a number of times (I joined in on the last game). This is amazing, as my guest is a non-game player whose favorite game is usually something like "Whoever picks the highest number wins, ok? I pick 84. Your |

| I recently read It’s A Guy Thing written by Scott Seegert. The subtitle kind of explains what the book is about “Awesome Real Innovations From The Underdeveloped Male Mind”. Being a girl (ok, I’m turning 30 on Tuesday, call me a woman) I was kind of doubtful that this book would be enjoyable to me. It is supposed to be |

| Here’s one of my favorite life-hacky tips from Peter Walsh (guy from Clean Sweep, author of It’s All Too Much, and inspiration for my recent War on Clutter). After you’ve done a major purge of your closet, remove all the remaining clothes that live on hangers, and put them back in backwards, such that the open end of each |
