Shui To Go!
Rating: 
Clearing the Clutter for Good Feng Shui can be a helpful book for people who struggle with clutter.
In a perfect world, we’d all throw out, sell or give away items that we don’t need or don’t like.
Most of us aren’t that perfect. We need to be weaned off our clutter, a little at a time. Drastic decluttering sessions are exhausting at best, and–in a manic moment–can cause us to throw out things that we actually need or value.
This book encourages you to get rid of the clutter. But, if you aren’t ready for that yet, the author points out where not to dump or store it.
For example, is your front door area and hall where family members tend to drop things as they enter… and then just leave them there?
Ms. Lambert points out, “If you have a pile of items that are stacked right by the entrance, it symbolizes life as being a real struggle, with opportunities barred.” (You can apply this to your bedroom, too, if you tend to just drop things there, and are having romance problems.)
This book covers space clearing, clutter ‘hotspots’ and then takes you, room by room, through your home, including your home office and your attic.
In this book, you’ll get ideas for storage options, so that you don’t have to ‘get rid of it all’ right now. You’ll also learn important reasons not to overload your storage areas and containers.
Ms. Lambert uses Compass School directions, but you can easily use this book with the Black Hat Bagua. Most of her advice has very little to do with directions; it’s more about disorganized clutter and how it affects your life.
Purists may object that this book puts too much attention on storage, instead of parting with your clutter altogether. I think it’s a useful book for those of us who can’t seem to live austere lives. (Obviously, I’m one of those people coping with clutter, though I aspire to live simply.)
If other clutter-related Feng Shui books have been too extreme for you, this is an excellent book to help you clear your home and workplace, a little at a time.
