I enjoy getting my weekly tips e-mails because becoming better organised is not just a once-off affair. I need constant reminders to declutter my life and manage my time better. I especially liked your simple definition of clutter: “Anything I don’t use / don’t love / doesn’t make me feel at peace”. A while back you also asked an extremely valuable question “What is not serving you?” which gave me a much-needed push to make some changes.

In essence I think the reason why your tips are so helpful, is that you also address the psychological and emotional side of disorganisation – you understand that it affects our feelings of peace and sense of achievement. Something as seemingly unimportant as disorganisation ultimately results in our unhappiness because it makes one feel out of control, tired and depressed.

Just wanted to tell you that your newsletters are really an inspiration to me. I have really learnt a lot and I do apply them to my life.

The organising tips have also come in very handy in my new house.

I printed some of your free stuff - 10 rules for a happy day - and my daughter also put it up in her room. We also have the monthly calendar on the fridge. Anything that is very important like school meetings helps mommy and daddy not to forget, so it does help!
