10-Minute Declutter: Hundreds of Tips to Organize Every Room of Your House

When I first started using feng shui (pronounced fung shway), few people in the West had heard of it. Today, scores of English language books and articles have been written on the subject. You can buy feng shui candles, feng shui cosmetics, feng shui refrigerator magnets, feng shui greeting cards, and a host of other products that may or may not have any real value or any genuine relationship to this ancient Chinese art.

Yet there’s still a lot of confusion about feng shui. What are the core concepts? Do you have to completely redo your home according to feng shui principles, or can you benefit from making just a few updates?

Like experts in medicine, religion, golf, or any other field, feng shui practitioners subscribe to different theories and come to different understandings over time as a result of their own experiences. One thing just about everyone agrees on, however, is that clutter must be controlled.

HOW TO USE THIS BOOK

10-Minute Declutter focuses on one essential feng shui cure—getting rid of clutter.

Cures, by the way, are techniques designed to produce certain effects or to eliminate unwanted ones. In Part One, I explain the ABCs of feng shui and why it works. I also discuss the symbolism and psychology of clutter and how you can eliminate problems in your life by eliminating clutter in your environment.

Part Two contains tips and solutions for clearing away clutter. These tips are grouped into five categories: home, workplace, areas outside your home, kids, and your personal life. Many can be implemented in ten minutes or so. The other, larger tasks, such as cleaning out an attic or basement, can be broken down into small segments to make them more manageable.

If you don’t want to know much about feng shui, you can go directly to Part Two and get started. But if you’re the sort of person who likes to understand why as well as how, Part One explains why making changes in your living and work areas will change your life.

The most important factor in successfully using feng shui is your intent— the physical cures are only part of the process. You’ll get better results if you truly want to correct a particular problem and if you believe that what you are doing will work. In this sense, feng shui is a lot like other endeavors—the more you put into it, the more you get back.

CLUTTER CONTROL FOR KIDS

Get kids involved in clutter control.

Encourage children to unclutter their rooms. Clutter in children’s bedrooms can increase restlessness, distraction, frustration, and confusion. It also puts obstacles in their way. “A chaotic sea of stuff and inappropriate storage options can disrupt children’s lives at every stage of development,” explains Lisa Skolnik in her book The Right Storage. Toy chests, shelves, baskets, colorful plastic tubs, etc., make it easy for them to put away games and toys after playing with them. Help kids appreciate the value of putting their stuff away so they can find it the next time they want it.

Keep toy collections from growing out of control.

Each time a child receives a new toy, instruct him or her to give away an old one. Let the child decide whether to give an outgrown toy to a friend, younger sibling, or charity. This cure not only keeps toy collections from expanding ad infinitum, it encourages kids to share with others.
