Cutting Through the Clutter

Most people have no idea how much their clutter affects them. It can affect their productivity, their self-esteem, their social life, and even their weight! People who live with excess clutter say they can’t find the
energy to begin to clear it. They constantly feel tired and overwhelmed. When surrounded by clutter, it is impossible to focus or have clarity about life. In this workshop, you will learn that clutter is not the result of
sloppiness, laziness or incompetence but several surmountable obstacles. Recognizing the source of your clutter problem can empower you to address the problem directly and without shame.
