Expert organizer and "New York Times" bestselling author Julie
Morgenstern teaches you how to get rid of the physical, mental, and
time clutter that's keeping you from the life you want.
Julie Morgenstern has made a career out of helping her clients get
organized. But in the process, she discovered something surprising:
for many of her clients, organizing isn't enough. For those who are
eager to make a change in their lives--a new job, a new
relationship, a new stage in life--they need to get rid of the old
before they can organize the new. They need to SHED their stuff
before they can change their lives So Julie created the SHED
process--a four-step plan to get rid of the physical, mental, and
schedule clutter that holds back so many of us. But SHEDing isn't
just about throwing things away Julie teaches that its just as
important to focus on what comes before and after you heave the
clutter, so that the changes you make really stick in the long
term. Learn about:
- Separating the treasures (figuring out what really matters)
- Heaving the rest (undertaking the tough work of eliminating
excess)
- Embracing your true identity (figuring out who you really want to
be)
- Driving yourself forward (achieving real change now that the past
isn't holding you back any longer)
Whether you're facing a move, a promotion, an empty nest, a
marriage, divorce, or retirement, "SHED Your Stuff, Change Your
Life" provides a practical, transformative plan for positively
managing change in every aspect of your life.
