This review is from: Clean Your Clutter, Clear Your Life (Paperback)

Feeling drained of energy? Never seem to get everything done? Perhaps one of the contributing factors is clutter.
Gaylah Balter provides an insightful treatise on how clutter, in all of its forms, affects our lives. Whether it is a
cluttered desk, cluttered house, a cluttered room in the house or even a cluttered mind trying to keep track of too many
things, clutter is around us everywhere. Using a system based on Feng Shui she leads you through the process of uncluttering
your life and returning to a more relaxed state.

She also discusses some of the reasons why people keep clutter and how it gets out of control, but best of all she offers
a framework for how to change yourself and get out of the habit of cluttering up your life. Very practical, useful ideas,
in a well written book, it was generally a joy to read. I say "generally" because while it is filled with useful information
and written in a wonderful, clear style, that style is often broken up with attempts at humor. I found it
added an amateurish quality to a book that was very professional in every other aspect. If you can
ignore such high school comments as the "Ha, ha" in, "I hope it hasn't become as overwhelming as your clutter is; that was
not my intention. Ha, Ha.", then you will probably find it an interesting book. Don't get me wrong, this is a great book
that would deserve a five star review if it didn't contain all the "clutter" of the annoying side comments. A recommended
read - with patience.
