About this listen
Japanese Zen Buddhists have practiced minimalism for centuries. We have adored their ways of keeping only the essentials and giving away the rest. It’s easy to organize and keep a space clutter-free when there is not much to organize. Imagine a room crammed wall to wall with junk, leaving only a human-sized path to walk through. Ever wonder how one finds the time, energy, and patience to tackle such tasks?
The art of organization is a skill. It takes years to practice and even more to be able to say that you have mastered the art. Thanks to the thousands of space-saving solutions and organizers, it doesn’t take weeks to purge and organize.
In this guide, Ashley Peters spills the beans on how to keep your home, office, and personal life in perfect harmony. With her wisdom and years of practicing organizational skills, she has picked up several great tricks and hacks to make any space mess-free. Narrated in a simple and relatable manner, this covers everything from how to stock your kitchen cabinets to how to make the most of the space under your bed.
Some of the topics and ideas you can expect to listen to in detail include:
- The desperate need for organization in our lives and homes
- How can we ever start if we don’t have a "why"
- Knowing the reasons you need organization in your life
- The purpose of purging and what should it look like
- How to sort items into baskets and what to do with them after
- Cleaning and organizing the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, garage, and the living room
- How to gain control over your desk’s clutter
- How to take back your life and become organized mentally
Backed by scientific studies and personal stories, this is a fun and informative listen for people who have trouble keeping up with the clutter. Allow Ashley to take you into her world of organization so that you can embrace the art, too.

Clutter is a common problem, and it’s one that is nearly impossible to ignore. The more it remains in front of you, the more you will feel the stress and anxiety you wish would just go away. While the mess won’t clean itself, if you commit yourself to the process and give it your all the first time around, you won’t need another decluttering session ever again.

What do you think when you hear the word "declutter" and what does it really mean? It is not about living frugally. It means becoming aware that less is better, because it allows you to acquire more freedom, more money, more space, and more awareness of what you buy and consume. It doesn't just work for things; you can apply decluttering to any part of your life, whether it's the mess in your home, your finances, your brain, your relationships, or even your work.
