Stuff Happens!

Stuff Happens!

Manage your clutter, clear your head & discover what's really important

Summary

Life is messy, and sometimes so is your space.

As a reformed hoarder turned professional declutterer, Emma Gleeson knows how easy it is to be overwhelmed by stuff. Stuff Happens! is her life-changing guide to getting a handle on your stuff and reclaiming your peace of mind. It contains a brimful of practical advice on . . .

· what to keep and what to chuck (responsibly)
· how to shop (especially if you struggle with a fast fashion habit)
· how to organize (however tiny your space)

By putting you, rather than some dream of minimalism, at the heart of the process Emma explains that it's natural to have stuff and easier than you think to stop it getting out of control. Filled with aha moments from Emma's and her clients' lives, Stuff Happens! will transform your space, headspace and your relationship with stuff FOREVER!
