Overview

Get Organized, Be More Productive, and Finally Understand the Why Behind Your Clutter

"...realistic organizational ideas that are geared towards your own personal style and functional needs. I highly recommend this book." ─Amazon review

#1 Best Seller in Time Management, Home Improvements, Cleaning, Caretaking & Relocating, and Small Homes & Cottages

The host of HGTV’s HOT MESS HOUSE helps you know your habits, declutter your space, and discover your unique organizing personality type and strategies for a more productive and clutter-free life.

An organization book for diverse habits. “You’re not messy, you just organize differently”. The Clutter Connection examines and explains the correlation between brain types and how they directly relate to organization and clutter. Cassandra Aarssen smashes the stereo–type that some people are “naturally messy” and offers readers insight and real-life solutions based on their unique personal organizing style. The Clutter Connection will help you get organized, be more productive and finally understand the why behind your clutter.

Individualized real life organizing. Organizing isn’t one size fits all. Let go of the preconceived and conventional notions of what organization looks like and finally discover what type Clutterbug you are. With self-awareness comes happiness, personal growth and lasting change.

The Clutter Connection examines:

  • The four different organizing styles and how they relate to each other
  • How motivation and happiness can be directly affected by our space
  • The “3P’s”─Productivity, procrastination and perfectionism and how they are connected to your unique organizing style
  • How you can finally become clutter-free simply by knowing yourself better

Also read Cas Aarssen's other best selling home organizing books, Real Life OrganizingCluttered Mess to Organized Success, and The Declutter Challenge.
