Free Yourself!

This is not your typical home organizing book. There are no tips on color coding your pantry or clearing clutter from the basement. It is a psychological look into why people use consumption as a coping mechanism for discomfort or a way to obtain/express love for others. Ultimately, we all know this rarely works. Instead, we are left lonelier and unhappier than ever and surrounded by unneeded, unwanted stuff. A compelling introductory point is the author’s observation of the increase in online shopping during the pandemic – a time when we all felt isolated, disrupted and alone. We now live in a time of easy access to cheaply produced goods and are less connected to others than ever. There is clearly work to be done. She outlines 7 Clutter Magnets that contribute to the problem, including True Connection (using clutter to attain or avoid it); Big Love (filling that missing void); Strong Self Confidence (purchases made on the constant quest to improve your life); and Real Purpose (distracting yourself with clutter to avoid the fear of pursuing it). There are some great insights with real client examples showcasing how these clutter magnets manifest. The real takeaways are how we all use stuff to chase intangible things: feelings that no item can fulfill, time we can’t get back and unrealistic expectations. But the solution is quite simple: love and respect yourself, connect with others, live an authentic life with purpose. No material thing will ever match that.

Great read!

I read the first half on a flight last night. The time flew because it is a really an engaging and thoughtfully written book! It reads like a loving friend is taking your on a journey to understand yourself and the environment (clutter) you create. I love how it looks at the "why's" of clutter and Tracy does so in such a compassionate way that it can be heard. Compassion is really what sets this book apart from all the others and I've read quite a few of these decluttering books, believe me. As a reader, you'll feel understood by someone who is an EXPERT on this topic. It's in her heart and in her bones. She "gets us". It's be a great gift for the holidays people! Your friends and family will love it. It speaks to everyone, no matter where they are on this journey and let's face it, most of us are on this journey. Thanks Tracy!

GREAT Book Helping My Decluttering Journey

I accumulated a LOT during the pandemic. Online shopping, buying items I only used once or never at all. I love the idea of Clutter Magnets and have really been able to apply this to my own decluttering. I liked that I could pop around a little to different chapters. Amazing, just what I needed to get my butt in gear!
