In her late 20s, Cait Flanders found herself stuck in the consumerism cycle that grips so many of us: earn more, buy more, want more, rinse, repeat. Even after she worked her way out of nearly $30,000 of consumer debt, her old habits took hold again. When she realized that nothing she was doing or buying was making her happy - only keeping her from meeting her goals - she decided to set herself a challenge: she would not shop for an entire year. The Year of Less documents Cait's life for 12 months during which she bought only consumables.

We all go through patches when we find it hard to sleep. Either we have problems dropping off at night or we wake in the early hours with thoughts buzzing round in our minds. Sometimes it seems impossible to get that elusive night's sleep we so badly crave, but this book will show you how to break negative patterns, get more rest and improve your wellbeing.
Publisher's Summary
Fans of The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo and The Four Tendencies by Gretchen Rubin will love The Clutter Connection by organization expert Cassandra Aarssen.
An organization book for diverse habits
"You're not messy, you just organize differently." The Clutter Connection examines and explains the correlation between brain types and how they directly relate to organization and clutter. Cassandra Aarssen smashes the stereotype that some people are "naturally messy" and offers listeners insight and real-life solutions based on their unique personal organizing style. The Clutter Connection will help you get organized, be more productive, and finally understand the why behind your clutter.
Individualized real-life organizing
Organizing isn't one size fits all. Let go of the preconceived and conventional notions of what organization looks like and finally discover what Clutterbug you are. With self-awareness comes happiness, personal growth, and lasting change.
The Clutter Connection examines the four different organizing styles and how they relate to each other; how motivation and happiness can be directly affected by our space; the "3P's" - productivity, procrastination, and perfectionism - and how they are connected to your unique organizing style; and how you can finally become clutter-free simply by knowing yourself better.

Loved this book
This is my very first audiobook and it was great to be able to listen to it while you go about your daily chores. Quite motivating and also encouraging. Cas's innovative categorisation of organization styles was really great to learn, accommodating all kinds of personality makes you kind of feel like "now I've got a name for my quirks".. Great book.. thoroughly enjoyed it.

Life Changing Aproach - Way different than others
Learning the way people organize is the first thing that ever has had any lasting impact on our home. My husband is a cricket and I am a butterfly (with bee project mess tendencies). We have been living in a cluttered home for 17 years. We just couldn't figure out what was going to work. I have read countless books searching for the answer but noting ever worked until I stumbled upon o YouTube video of the bug styles which lead me here. We finally have momentum and I know in time, which this new knowledge, we will get the whole house under control. Thanks so much!

Eye Opening!
I have read a lot of organization books and thia is the fireat one that truly understands my cleaning habit. I am a butterfly and just knowing that there are nore people like me out there is so comforting! She really goes into detail for all 4 of the different organizational types of people. I listened to the whole book, even though mine was the very first one. The reason I did this is because sometimes you have to share a space with someone either at work or at hone. I know I have lived with a Cricket and we could not come together on our styles and This book might have saved our relationship. Now that O have the tools that will help me I am going to do before and after pics. Thank you so much for writing this amazing book. I recommend this book to anyone, and I do mean anyone! This is a great book for men and women alike!

I think this is definitely true.
Solves a lot of problems in relationships! Solves problems personally/individually. I learned about organization for ADHD people because of a family member. What is said in this book is what I have seen works for that family member. Therefore, I already reached a similar conclusion as the author and believe she is on the right track. I see another family member in the pages of this book and look forward to having everyone at least take the quiz. I think my husband is probably similar to me, and that's probably why we don't annoy each other any more than we annoy ourselves. I've already been showing this book to others. And it's fun to have a title/nickname for myself. I am a combination of two bugs, but primarily a cricket. I have lived with all types, I'm afraid, and have learned to tolerate all of them through life experience. But this is refreshing and gives me hope that maybe there can be more happiness and peace on the part of everyone, if they are interested in applying the ideas and recommendations in this book.

Very helpful concept with some FlyLady overlap
Excellent breakdown, very helpful. Ideas from FlyLady too, but it all worked well for me. I have already used the digital materials and checked out the Clutterbug website, YouTube channel, and Facebook page.
Having started decluttering/organizing in earnest last month but my new system already not working, finding my Clutterbug organizational style was like a lightbulb moment. I have already re-done some of the easier areas in my closet and it feels so much more relaxed now.
The narrator had good inflection and pace, though her voice as a whole was a touch too "syrupy" for me - I could tell it was simply her normal voice, though, and for the most part it didn't bother me after that.
I am considering purchasing the print copy of this book as well. It's that helpful. If you've ever been a FlyBaby in the FlyLady system (as I have been for 11+ years), you'll recognize certain things immediately from that system. However, it all works well together and as they BOTH say, "Progress, not perfection."
Highly recommended.

Super Insightful
I have read several books on the topic of decluttering and home organization. this is the first book to delve into the psychology of personal preferences and personality. I have long known that I do not view clutter the same way as my family members or roommates. now I finally understand why. I'm a butterfly. when it comes to decluttering & Home organization my favorite book remains that by Mari kondo. This book it takes the number 2 spot.

Great audiobook
The tips and tricks, the level of understanding of human nature, the witt and the friendly tone make this book fantastic.
It's an eye opener and I highly recommend it, because it not only explains the way to find out which is your individual organizing style but how to cope with different people with different organizing style both at home and at work.

Life Changing
It's crazy that I could live my life without ever hearing and understanding the different organizing styles. I am a butterfly and have always felt bad, stressed, overwhelmed and judged. Worst part is I thought I was alone in feeling that way! Out of site out of mind is me and it was a big fear I had. This book was life changing. Thank you and thank you! Next please write a book on how a butterfly can declutter and minimize!!

Cleaning is easier now!
This is by far my favorite book from this author. She has helped me so much. My family and I live in a tiny two bedroom apartment and I have found it very hard to keep clean and clutter free. This book has helped a ton to understand why its so hard to keep clean. I am a butterfly and I totally have all my clothes on every surface in my bedroom and nothing in my drawers. Totaly hit the nail on the head! I now have gotten rid of my dresser and use a cube shelf to put all our clothes in. I can see what I have and now I actually put them away! Thank you Cas!

Having come across Cas through her YouTube channel I would have preferred her own voice because I think the humour written into the book would come across better.

Interesting with slightly annoying narration
The narrator definitely gives feeling to her speech, but it’s a little OTT and sometimes the emphasis changes what I think was the original tone.
The different clutter types are very interesting to hear about and it definitely makes sense to me - I plan to implement some of the suggestions for my ‘type’.
But yeah, the narration is very “American” and annoying, at times. I still finished it though.
