Minimalism
Minimalism: A Minimalist's Guide to Eliminate Clutter, Clear the Mind and Increase Productivity | Paul Silverman
1 post | 1 read
Use These Powerful Minimalist Tips To Free Your Mind, Eliminate Clutter And Increase Your Productivity Along with all the benefits of living in a wealthy, modern world have come some unintended side effects that it is unlikely that our forefathers would have anticipated. Our lives have become cluttered both in a physical and mental sense by simple excess and we are forced to suddenly deal with having too much. Our closets, garages and desks are crammed to the maximum whilst our minds are swamped with tasks that should be done but are also being bombarded by social media, television and professional pressures.Rather than deal with the burgeoning problem many of us have simply ignored the situation in the vain hope that it will simply go away; after all, having a closet so jammed with clothes that you are no longer sure what is in there or a to do list that is so long that you won't complete it if you live to be a hundred is not really a life threatening scenario. In fact what researchers are now learning is that this accumulation of both material goods and unresolved mental tasks is creating high levels of anxiety that can have detrimental effects on both mental and physical wellbeing. The size of the task before us simply becomes so overwhelming that we ignore it and it is that nagging feeling that we should be doing something that causes the problems.The object of this book is to set you on a course to de-cluttering both your physical and mental space so that you can focus more on what is really important and free yourself to lead a happier and more productive lifestyle. The art of simplifying is not necessarily simple in itself but it will become that way as you break down the tasks ahead of you into smaller more manageable chunks. The reward for doing this will be a much deeper sense of inner peace and a greater ability to tackle those areas of your life that really matter.

It was a very basic overview on decluttering, it only brushes the edges. It seems more like a long blog post or article than a book. It might be a good starting place for a beginner who wants to know a little more, but not a great resource for someone who takes minimalism seriously. It is not a bad book, but there is better out there for sure.
