EP. 83 How Clearing Your Space Goes Beyond What You Can See w/ Connie Ellefson

Clutter has different effects depending on the type of person you are. According to Connie Ellefson, you can start anywhere on your decluttering journey and there is a rush of energy we get from decluttering and organizing a space. This energy is the same rush we get from exercising or releasing emotional burdens.

Connie Ellefson is an engineer, author and professional organizer working in the Denver metro area, helping people release the incredible amount of creativity and energy tied up in unnecessary clutter. Whether physical, mental, or possessional, clutter takes up space in our psyches and calendars that could be put to more productive, creative, and fun use. She joins us to discuss her new book, "Clear the Space Feel the Rush." 

Our discussion today included:
