De-Clutter, De-Stress Your Life

The Step-by-Step, Interactive Guidebook
for a Clutter-free, Less Stressful and More Fulfilling Life

Helen has revised her successful book De-Clutter, De-Stress Your Life. “When my low inventory of books in 2006 called me to reprint the original edition for the fourth time, I decided to re-evaluate the text. I had downsized my life for the second time, this time from six rooms to three. So I downsized my book.” The revised edition is a 142-page workbook with new and updated text and additional motivational quotes so positively received in the original edition. Based on Helen’s successful workshop of the same name, De-Clutter, De-Stress Your Life is a practical, self-help book with a positive tone, that weaves in spiritual principles for long-term success and humor to get you through some of the fear and stress that accompany change. Its interactive approach makes De-Clutter, De-Stress Your Life different from all other organizing books because it focuses on you – the person who possesses and what it takes mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually to let go and de-clutter possessions. “Make this edition your companion on the road less cluttered.”

I bought De-Clutter, De-Stress Your Life as a New Year’s gift to myself. Thank you for such an insightful and productive commentary! The most applicable statements for me were the “maybes” on page 41. “Revolution” would be an understatement. I amassed nearly twenty garbage bags full of clutter! My apartment feels like a home again. Thanks again for your very innovative ideas.Ê They are greatly appreciated.

I want you to know that I have bought your book and am appreciating it mightily! What a masterpiece. I like everything about it – the format, the content, the practicality and the spirituality. It’s like having you at my elbow as I continue my de-cluttering and (ultimately) de-stressing my life. THANK YOU.

Your De-Clutter, De-Stress Your Life guidebooks are overwhelmingly amazing, wise, organized, logical, so helpful, well-written with personal experiences. There are not enough adjectives to describe and praise your guidebooks. We are so grateful to have them in our possession. Chapter 9 on rethinking time and importance plus the cross-examining techniques are gems.

I began to read your book. I read as far as page 35. I went home on my lunch break and cleaned out a closet and took seven jackets to a consignment shop. I am so motivated to de-clutter my life!

After reading your book, I cleaned out my garage, got rid of some stuff – including a large machine which I seldom used – and reorganized the remainder. See what you have started?

I personally appreciate the “letting go” advice for my decade-old clippings on medical information. Chapter 9 on rethinking time and importance plus the cross-examining techniques are gems.
