From Perfect Chaos to Creative Tidiness

More Information

Junk and disarray are just as depressing as meticulous order and pedantic tidiness. How can we create a lively home that allows us to breathe and unfold? In this book, Katharina Auerswald shows us what to do. She developed and tested her recipes for creative tidiness during her many years as a cleanup coach. They help you right where you get stuck – on a general level but also with very concrete issues, like an ever-growing »dump« in the corridor.
She gives the most practical answers to questions such as: How to prepare for decluttering? What to keep, what to dispose of? What if the others are reluctant to join in the effort, or worse, we cannot even bring ourselves to get started? Through a number of practical examples, thoughts on minimalism and sustainability, as well as a witty sense of humour she inspires and encourages us to let go and find our very own tidiness.
