Summary
This week, I am thrilled to bring you bestselling author, Gretchen Rubin. In her latest book,Outer Order, Inner Calm,Gretchen explores the relationship between our physical and mental space: outside order creating an inner calmness. Throughout her career, Gretchen has written on the pursuit of happiness and how one can get there based upon personality traits or just practical tips suited towards their environment. Gretchen’s new book is a wonderful resource for those who aren’t quite sure where to begin but it’s also full of helpful tips I hadn’t ever thought of when decluttering my home.
We discuss:
- How Gretchen discovered outer order contributing to her own inner calm
- Is the recent interest in decluttering/minimalism just a trend or are people truly catching on to this ‘better way to live’?
- How personality contributes to our decluttering approach
- Actionable steps for mothers to keep up with the clutter
- How to make choices when organizing sentimental items
