“People are effective because they say no. Because they say, this isn’t for me.” – Greg McKeown
Welcome to Part 2 of a series of episodes on my latest obsession, the Book Essentialism.
If you missed Part 1 … no worries you can visit my website it will be on the home page where my blog lives and I will also include a link here!
This week I’m going to share an analogy that the author, Greg Mckeown, offers up early in the book that I loved.
It’s so simple yet so powerful.
And in this episode we are digging in.
So I have a thing for cleaning out my closets.
Mainly b/c I have a teeny tiny shopping obsession and in order to make room for the new I make myself get rid of the old.
I take a Saturday, crank up the music, pour a lil ‘cocktail and get to work.
I come up with new outfit ideas, find clothes I forgot about, purge the old and spice things up with the new.
But most importantly, I only keep what I need.
It’s an amazing ritual and one I totally look forward to.
So I loooooved in the book when Greg compared the “Essentialism journey” to closet cleaning.
I mean … this guy is writing this book for me I swear!
Greg says to think of this book doing for your life and career what a professional organizer can do for your closet.
I mean, just think about what your closet would look like if you never organized it?
It becomes cluttered and out of control and unless you have a system for the purge you’ll end up with regrets or as many clothes as you started with b/c you can’t decide what to give away
Just like our closets get cluttered so do our lives.
Essentialism has your fix.
Here are 3 ways to start to de-clutter your life, just like you would your closet:
