Kevin Kelly and Merlin Mann on ‘It’s All Too Much’
Written on July 7, 2008
I know it sounds strange, but if you start by focusing on the clutter, you will never get organized. Getting truly organized is rarely about “the stuff.”
This is the bottom line: If your stuff and the way it is organized is getting you to your goals… fantastic. But if it’s impeding your vision for the the life you want, then why is it in your home? Why is it in your life? Why do you cling to it? For me, this is the only starting point in dealing with clutter.

When Kevin Kelly and Merlin Mann both rave about a book, it must be worth checking out, so as long as there’s still room to squeeze in one more book onto those overcrowded shelves, we’ll need to take a look at It’s All Too Much: How to Declutter Your Life by Peter Walsh.
