 Is your life in order?
Getting organized isn’t the point
Is an uncluttered closet, a brilliant filing system, or a sched-
ule crafted with military precision going to make you a
happier person? Of course not.

Author Mary Carlomagno, a sought-after expert on simpli-

fying and organizing, once owned 125 pairs of beautifully
organized shoes. This “recovering shopaholic” knows better
than most that it’s not the closet that needs the makeover.
And the solution is not at the Container Store (as much as
she adores the place). Rather, cleaning up and paring down
lead to more order — in both your closet and your life.

It’s about making room for what

truly matters
With Your Life, in Order, Carlomagno tackles job one:
transforming our relationships to the things and routines
that burden us. Do you really “love” those shoes you never
wear? Why are you so attached to that grudge? Is that
“obligatory” event so important? When we let go of the
clutter — whether in our closets, in our heads, or on our
calendars — we clear the way for the real stuff of life: rich
relationships and experiences.

A companion for the journey

Carlomagno purged her excess stuff, took control of her
schedule, and expanded her life by making small changes
each day. That is, she practiced. Your Life, in Order offers a
whole year’s worth of personal reflections and simple daily
exercises that help us do the same, at our own pace. The
path to order is different for everyone. But as Carlomagno’s
hundreds of clients have discovered, with each step order
takes root, and life grows.
