Clutter's Last Stand, 2nd Edition
When you can't find your way through your living room because too many things block your way; can't eat at the kitchen table because of the newspapers, books, car keys and canned goods piled on it, trip over shoes and clothing on the bedroom floor heading to bed, then you have a problem—you are a prisoner of clutter!
Enter America's #1 Cleaning Expert, Don Aslett who says clutter is anything that is in anyplace that it does not belong. Aslett's self-improvement book CLUTTER'S LAST STAND, 2nd Edition: It's Time to de-Junk Your Life! (Adams Media; Trade Paperback; April 18, 2005; ISBN: 1-59337-328-7) will make you happier, freer, neater, richer, and smarter. With a little help from you, it will solve more home, family, marriage, career, and economic problems than any other book you've ever read. De-junking your life will cost nothing and will pay 100 % returns.
Face it. We all have clutter control issues that drive us bonkers. While we think of ways to de-clutter, putting those thoughts into action can be insurmountable. It has nothing to with whether an item is essential or unessential, useful or useless, needed or not needed, or even attractive. Something inside us chides us for de-junking. What if we toss out something that might come in handy latter?
That's what Don Aslett thought one day in his college dorm room until he picked up the gauntlet to toss clutter and junk out of his life. He found it to be so exhilarating, that he created a cleaning company to get rid of other people's clutter, dirt, and junk. As they say from that point, the rest is history.
Answer "yes" to any of these questions and you need CLUTTER'S LAST STAND:
- Do you live in fear that someone you respect may someday open one of your closets?
- Have you ever threatened bodily harm to anyone who opens your drawer in front of company?
- Do you wait until dark to pull your car into the garage?
- Have you ever finally replaced a broken part—then kept that broken part?
- Do you live with someone who has too much junk?
With this handy sifting and sorting guide to opening cleaning horizons you find:
- A JUNKEE ENTRANCE EXAM that helps you determine just how bad your junk problem is
- "101 Feeble Excuses for Hanging Onto Junk" that you can laugh at—and learn from
- Detailed guidelines for judging junk—both yours and others
- Advice for getting rid of clutter you don't need and storing what you should keep
Removing clutter from your life involves more than getting organized and tidying up. It means eliminating unnecessary components that are clogging social or professional activities and then moving to a healthier and happier level.
CLUTTER'S LAST STAND shows how to save your sanity—not souvenirs, sacks, and old, worn-out shoes. With anecdotes, charts, cartoons, quizzes and "bumper snickers", Don Aslett demonstrates how clutter crowds not only our basements and attics, but also our personal growth and relationships. He humorously delves into the full range of junk—home, car, office, and wardrobe. He offers courage to toss away whatever is hazardous to our housekeeping and mental health.
For all those who have done war on clutter only to come out a loser, here is the inspiration to get the job done once and for all!
