Outer Order, Inner Calm: Declutter & Organize to Make More Room for Happiness
by Gretchen Rubin
View on GoodreadsNeed it, love it or use it. That's the test Gretchen Rubin proposes for your belongings, on the premise that for most people a more orderly space supports a calmer, happier mind. Instead of one system, you get more than 150 short suggestions grouped into five themes, and you take the ones that fit.
Core ideas
- Tailor it: What works depends on the person, so Rubin's strategies are meant to be adapted to you rather than applied as a one-size-fits-all method.
- The hard part: Rubin takes on decision fatigue and the emotional attachment you have to your possessions, not only where things should go.
- Five themes: Making choices about possessions, creating order, knowing yourself and others, building helpful routines and adding beauty each get their own section.
