Making Peace with the Things in Your
Life
Cindy Glovinsky is a licensed psychotherapist, personal
organizer and program director of the National Study Group on Chronic
Disorganization. Over the past several years, she has worked closely
with Judith Kolberg (founder of the National Study Group and co-author
of another organizing book, ADD-friendly Ways to Organize Your
Life) and with Sari Solden, author of Women with Attention
Deficit Disorder.
Rather than offering organizing advice, Cindy Glovinsky
focuses on the internal issues – not how to sort papers or
organize a closet, but on what keeps you from sorting or organizing.
Glovinsky writes in her introduction that her book “is not
meant to replace the externally focused organizing books….
But to enable you to make better use of them after rethinking every
aspect of you and Things.” The approaches outlined in this
book can work hand-in-glove with the new organizing book by Judith
Kolberg and Kathleen Nadeau – ADD-friendly Ways to Organize
Your Life that is chock-full of strategies, structure and support
to help a woman with ADD to organize rooms, closets, papers, belongings,
wardrobes, etc.
Glovinsky emphasizes that clutter and disorganization
has many roots and that understanding what those roots are is the
key to undoing the clutter habits. “You may have Thing-management
problems because you’re short on time or space, because of
transitions or other people in your life, because you have memory
problems, visual processing problems, attention problems, or task
completion problems, because you’re depressed, ill, grieving,
obsessive-compulsive, addicted, or for a host of other reasons.
Permanent success in making peace with your Things depends on figuring
out EXACTLY what is going on: then you can begin to do something
about it.”
In her closing comments, Glovinsky captures the essence
of her book: the important things in life are not “Things”,
but moments. Getting better control of Things helps us to focus
on what really matters – time with loved ones, moments of creativity
and inspiration, discovery, celebration, romance and success. In
relating differently to Things, you create a different life. “…along
your way to making peace with your things,” you’ll find
that you’ve made peace with yourself.
A much-needed book that helps us look beyond the physical
clutter to the internal struggles that underlie the feelings of
overwhelm and disorganization.
