Outer Order, Inner Calm: Declutter and Organize to Make More Room for Happiness by Gretchen Rubin

3.0

This one was quick. Like, an hour long read at most. I found the info to be fairly well organized, and the writing was good, but it lacked a lot of depth.

What you’ll find here is (almost) a long blog post style list of questions and activities you can do (if you want) to help you clear clutter out of your life.

The advice ranges from elementary (don’t buy things if you don’t want the clutter), to slightly less elementary (take a photo of an area to look with fresh eyes and see the clutter). TBH most of the most profound pieces of advice I read were actually ideas from other writers (creating a secret space - Christopher Alexander).

It’s a quick read, and written well enough - so if you need some help starting to get organized (and you haven’t read any blog posts on the topic), grab this read from your local library.
