How my clutter goes

I finished reading your book over the weekend but I couldn't be bothered to put it down to throw my stuff out.My life has been a mess for a few years now. I got fibromyalgia and had to stop working .Then my husband died suddenly at the same time our 16 yr old was having a baby.Your stories are uplifting and I thank you. The first thing on my list is 8,500 unread e-mails sorted and deleated.Yes I know it is only one item but WoW it made me feel good.
