Publisher's Synopsis
If you mixed Marie Kondo, Brene Brown, your best friend, and a sailor on shore leave together, this is the book you'd get—an irreverent guide to decluttering yourself and your home so you can create the life you deserve. This is the book you need to read before all of those other decluttering and organizing books collecting dust on your shelves. You've had plans to go through your closets for years. You have piles of stuff. Your kitchen is overflowing or your basement is crowded with boxes. You want control but don't know how to get it because you keep addressing the symptom—the clutter—and not the cause—a lifetime of negative thoughts and messages. Ditch Your Sh*t! validates you and every time you've doubted yourself. It teaches you that decluttering yourself will lead to overcoming the barriers that have stopped you from decluttering your home so you can create sustainable change. In Part I, you'll tackle the mental shit in chapters like "Shitty Thinking" and "Ditch your Shitty Habits." You will draw on your own strengths. You will learn how to create realistic goals for success and overcome feelings of shame and imperfection. In Part II, you'll tackle the physical shit in chapters that focus on specific areas of your house, such as the kitchen, shared common areas, and even the bathroom. In the end, you will learn how to get shit done and feel good about yourself while doing it. By the time you've finished Ditch Your Sh*t!, you'll understand yourself better and actually be excited to tackle the clutter in your home instead of being frozen with overwhelm. It's time to learn what author Kate Evans did when she decluttered her own home: Caring for your home is self-care.
