From Our Mailbox: Timing Myself
Nony here: I LOVE this real life example of the effect of breaking through delusions by using a timer! A reader shares her real-life results when timing herself while doing daily tasks. Don't stop reading until the end. The magic happens on Day Two. (Just like it always does with the daily tasks that haven't been daily in a while!) You … [Read more...]
$110 Bucks Worth of Clutter!!!
Nony here: I loved this email from one of you. I'd love to hear what you have laying around waiting to be returned! Dear Nony, Let me start by saying....I am really bad about returning items.

Another Reader Has the Conversation: No Tutu for Me, Thanks.
Dear Dana, I had a Clutter Avoidance conversation! My sister hosted a swimming party at her house and asked us all (I have 6 sisters, plus we have kids) to wear tutus! Yes, it was just as much fun as it sounds. I made mine from my scrap material bin, and each of my 4 daughters already had one. I don't have to feel guilty about throwing … [Read more...]
From Our Mailbox: Why Some Homes (Like Mine) Look Cluttered and Others Don’t
Nony here: I loved this recent comment from Amanda so much, I had to share it with all of you. She makes great observations about why some people's homes (like mine) look cluttered, and others look awesome with the same amount of stuff!! I have a job where I am in and out of different people's homes all day long. I was reflecting on what … [Read more...]
From Our Mailbox: A Reader Stands Up Against “Guilt” Clutter
I LOVED this message I received from one of you (who asked to remain nameless) recently! I just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you. I recently read your article about "guilt" clutter, and it hit home with me.
