Barbara Feldman: How to Master Your Muck

How to Master Your Muck

A few years ago, the piles of paper that covered every flat surface of my house finally got to me. I was ready to scream, "Uncle!" In fact, I did scream. And it was Kathi Burns who felt my pain and came to my rescue.

Kathi is a professional organizer. She came into my house, designed a new office for me, set up an amazing filing system, and helped me back from the brink of insanity. Those who know me, know that to this day, I still struggle with paperwork. But I am on the way to recovery. And Kathi was my first life preserver.

Fast forward four years, and now Kathi has a brand new book titled "How to Master Your Muck." I thought it was a funny title, but Kathi explains muck this way. "Anything that keeps you limited, unproductive, unsuccessful or unfulfilled is a form of 'muck.' It's the nature of muck to assault the human spirit by stealing energy, stifling creativity, sabotaging success and undermining happiness."

1) Order it anyway, and as soon as it becomes available, you'll be among the first to get it.

2) Take a minute to sign up for her free email newsletter at her site Add Space to Your Life. You'll get weekly tips and her inspirational before and after pictures. Every couple of years, I see my OWN before/after pix appear in her newsletter. But Kathi's professional enough to keep my identity secret. You'll just have to guess which of those pathetic paper piles were once mine. Ha ha ha!
