Read MoreStop Clutter from Stealing Your Life – Mike Nelson
Stop Clutter from Stealing Your Life Mike Nelson has written a painfully honest autobiographical account of his life as an extreme clutterer.

So they…

When Casual Uncluttering LLC was so new I was terrified of making mistakes rather than confident that I would make them, I read organizing books as quickly as I could discover them. Marla Cilley, FlyLady.net, author of Sink Reflections (my review is here) was one of the first Organizers I studied – I wrote that…
